MediaTek today announced the new Dimensity 900 5G SoC, built on 6nm e TSMC’s 6nm process technology, same as Dimensity 1000 and 1200. It has Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, FHD+ 120Hz display support and a 108MP main camera. It has 5G New Radio (NR) sub-6GHz modem with carrier aggregation, True Dual SIM 5G (5G SA + 5G SA) and Voice over New Radio (VoNR) and support for bandwidth up to 120MHz. The octa-core central processing unit (CPU) consisting of two Arm Cortex-A78 processors with a clock speed of up to 2.4GHz and six Arm Cortex-A55 cores operating at up to 2GHz.
The chipset has an Arm Mali-G68 MC4 graphics processing unit (GPU), along with an independent artificial intelligence (AI) processing unit (APU). The 3rd generation of MediaTek’s AI processing unit supports a wide variety of AI applications and 4K high definition resolution (HDR).
Key cutting-edge technologies integrated into the Dimensity 900 include:
- MediaTek’s Imagiq 5.0: The chipset integrates a flagship-class, HDR-native image signal processor (ISP) and incorporates a unique hardware-accelerated 4K HDR video recording engine. This supports up to four concurrent cameras and up to 108MP sensors.
- MediaTek’s MiraVision: The chipset packs upgraded video capabilities from a standard dynamic range (SDR) to HDR with real-time enhancements of HDR10+ video playback to improve color and contrast of content.
- Premium AI-Camera Enhancements: Smartphones powered by the Dimensity 900 will capture every detail with support for up to 108MP cameras with 32M at 30fps and multi-camera options such as 20+20MP. The chipset integrates our AI processing unit with ultra-efficient INT8, INT16 and accurate FP16 capabilities to deliver premium and super precise AI-camera results.
