MediaTek's first flagship 5G chipset is here!
The MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chipset is based on the 6nm process technology and has an octa-core CPU structure. The setup includes two Arm Cortex-A78 CPU cores clocked at up to 2.6GHz and six Arm Cortex A55 cores clocked at up to 2.0GHz. To recall, the Dimensity 920 supported a clock speed of up to 2.5 GHz. For graphics, there is the Mali-G88 GPU. The chipset comes with support for LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
For the photography part, phones with the Dimensity 1080 chipset can include up to a 200MP main camera and support hardware-accelerated 4K HDR videos. MediaTek's Imagiq image signal processor (ISP) can provide high-quality images and videos.
MediaTek HyperEngine 3.0 is supposed to ensure improved gaming performance and MediaTek APU 3.0 will bring in various AI tricks for the cameras and efficient performance. The phones can get up to Full HD+ 120Hz screens with variable speed to save power.
