After announcing the Dimensity 8000 and 8100 5G SoCs earlier this year, MediaTek has now launched a new mobile chipset under its Dimensity 1000 series called the MediaTek Dimensity 1050. It is the company's first mmWave 5G chipset that delivers high-speed and reliable 5G internet. The company has also introduced the Dimensity 930 chipset and Helio G99 alongside. Check out the details below.
MediaTek Dimensity 1050 Faster, further, seamless 5G experiences
The MediaTek Dimensity 1050 SoC is a 5G chipset based on TSMC's 6nm architecture. It's an octa-core processor, including two ARM Cortex-A78 cores clocked at up to 2.5 GHz. It also has an integrated ARM Mali-G610 MC3 GPU and support for up to LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
Now coming to the highlight of the chipset, Dimensity 1050 comes as the company's first ever 5G chipset that combines both mmWave and Sub-6GHz 5G to deliver up to 53% faster 5G experience on smartphones compared to LTE + mmWave. 5G mmWave, for those unaware, works with 6GHz or higher spectrum to deliver the fastest 5G speeds to users.
However, despite its higher speeds, 5G mmWave is unreliable compared to the Sub-6GHz spectrum when it comes to range or building penetration capabilities.
