This afternoon, MediaTek officially launched the Dimensity 1200 chipset, which is based on TMSC’s 6nm process.
It consists of one Cortex-A78 core at 3.0GHz, three Cortex-A78 cores at 2.6GHz, and four Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0GHz. The performance has increased by 22%, and energy efficiency has increased by 25%. The GPU scale has not changed much, but its performance has increased by up to 13%.
The MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset realizes high-speed 5G rail mode for the first time, which supports fast multi-beam switching, a 40% increase in 5G network speed, and downlink speeds up to 400Mbps. It further supports 5G elevator mode for the first time; 5G Ultrasave is now more power-saving and supports a new frequency band and large bandwidth.
The MediaTek Dimensity 1200 supports single-frame progressive staggered HDR video, can record 4K three-exposure HDR video and supports AI multi-person blurring.
The chipset can also achieve up to 200 million pixel photography. It supports MediaTek’s rapid night shooting, triple-exposure single-frame progressive 4K HDR video technology (Staggered HDR), and AI SDR to HDR technology.
MediaTek Dimensity 1200 has a HyperEngine 3.0 network optimization engine, which supports continuous incoming calls and does not consume CPU and GPU resources when opening hotspots. It also supports 5G high-speed rail game mode. It is the first chipset certified by TÜV Rheinland.
The chipset is also confirmed to be featured in the Redmi K-series and Honor V series. It is known that the Redmi K40 series would feature a Dimensity 1200, too.
MediaTek Dimensity 1200 also supports the upcoming Bluetooth LE Audio (Bluetooth Low Energy Audio) standard, reducing game voice latency by 20%. It also supports a ten-finger touch to maintain stable frames and an intelligent load control engine for adding high-game brushes. Some smart features such as Smart Healthy Charging, Wi-Fi 6 Power Saving Mode, and Balanced Performance reduce power consumption and extend battery life.
Thanks to the new features of the MediaTek Dimensity 1200, many smartphone manufacturers, including Redmi and Realme, will launch 168Hz high refresh rate phones, which is worth looking forward to.
