Global smartphone chip designer MediaTek, has announced their Dimensity 5G Open Resource Architecture for smartphone manufactures. The open-resource architecture is designed for the Dimensity 1200 SoC, and will allow smartphone manufactures to customize various elements such as cameras, displays, graphics, artificial intelligence (AI) processing units (APUs), sensors and more.
The Dimensity 5G open resource architecture will give smartphone manufacturer control over the following:
- Multimedia Experiences: With access to the in-chip, multi-core AI and display processors, multimedia experiences can be tailored and better synergy can be achieved between the chipset and the smartphone’s display and audio hardware.
- Hybrid Multiprocessing: The open resource architecture gives brands the freedom to fine-tune a device’s performance and power-efficiency through workload assignments customization across the chipset’s processing resources.
- AI Processing: It offers better access to MediaTek’s deep learning accelerator (DLA) within the MediaTek APU.
- Camera Processing Engines: For both image and video capturing, there is now raw access to the camera image signal processor (ISP) to directly control the data flow that immediately follows once content is captured.
- Connectivity: To create a well-rounded customer experience, brands will be able to sync the latest Bluetooth features with profiles to match their wireless accessories, such as headsets or gaming peripherals.
According to MediaTek, devices powered by the Dimensity 5G Open Resource Architecture customized chipsets will hit the global market in July 2021.
Commenting on the launch, Yenchi Lee, Deputy General Manager of MediaTek’s Wireless Communications Business Unit, said:
MediaTek is collaborating with the world’s largest smartphone brands to unlock customized consumer experiences that differentiate flagship 5G smartphones. Whether it’s novel multimedia features, unmatched performance, brilliant imaging or more synergy between smartphones and services, with our architecture device makers can tailor their devices to complement a variety of consumer lifestyles.
