This afternoon, Digital Chat Station shared a significant update in the smartphone industry. The blogger revealed the specifications of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 and MediaTek Dimensity 2000.
The blogger claims that the Snapdragon 898 will be manufactured using Samsung’s 4nm process and will feature a Cortex-X2 super core clocked at 3.0 GHz, three performance cores clocked at 2.5 GHz, and four energy-efficient cores clocked at 1.79 GHz. It will also feature an Adreno 730 GPU.
The Dimensity 2000 will be built on a 4nm TSMC process and will also feature a Cortex-X2 super core clocked at 3.0 GHz, three high-performance cores clocked at 2.85 GHz, and four energy-efficient cores clocked at 1.8 GHz. This chipset will feature a Mali-G710 MC10 GPU.
According to the frequency, the Dimensity 2000 should provide a more powerful performance. Both chipsets’ high-performance cores are expected to be Cortex-A710 cores, while the energy-efficient core will be Cortex-A510.
It was also reported that the Snapdragon 898 chipset might be available soon in the second quarter of next year. Many smartphones from different manufacturers are already scheduled to be powered by the Snapdragon 898 chipset.
In July, MediaTek officially announced that it would unveil the successor to its flagship chip series before the end of this year.
They also stated that the chipset will be based on ARM’s latest flagship cores and TSMC’s leading 4nm process, which will help the chipset deliver industry-leading low power consumption and excellent performance. In addition, advanced AI, multimedia IP, and the exclusive Dimensity 5G open architecture will also provide differentiation.
It has also been reported that MediaTek is currently working with different smartphone manufacturers to test the chipset. Mass production of the chipset is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2022, and a range of products featuring it will be launched.
