This afternoon, the famous Chinese blogger Digital Chat Station revealed the specifications of the Dimensity 7000 5G chipset. According to the blogger, these are the specifications of the prototype. The specifications of the actual chipset can be different.
As mentioned, the Dimensity 7000 5G will be based on TSMC’s 5nm manufacturing process and will be equipped with eight cores, four of which will be Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.75GHz, and the other four will be Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0GHz. The CPU also comes with a Mali-G510 MC6 GPU.
The Dimensity 7000 5G seems to be a slightly upgraded version of the Dimensity 1100 chipset, as both feature the same type and number of cores. The only difference is the frequency of the Cortex-A78 core (which is 2.6GHz in Dimensity 1100).
The chipset also has some improvements over the Dimensity 1100, such as an upgraded Mali-G510 GPU and a more advanced manufacturing process. Moreover, we can also conclude that this chipset will replace Dimensity 1100 in the market.
In 2022, many sub-flagship smartphones are likely to feature this chipset. To be more competitive, Qualcomm will also need to launch an upgraded version of the Snapdragon 870 5G.
