MediaTek has introduced Dimensity 7300, another 7000 series chipset, as the successor to last year’s Dimensity 7050. There is also Dimensity 7300X designed for flip-style foldable devices with support for dual displays.
Both these octa-core SoCs pack 4X Arm Cortex-A78 cores at up to 2.5GHz paired with 4X Arm Cortex-A55 cores. Compared to 6nm process in the Dimensity 7050, these use 4nm process provides up to 25% lower power consumption compared to the predecessor.
There is Arm Mali-G615 GPU and MediaTek HyperEngine for gaming. In comparison to competitor alternatives, the Dimensity 7300 series offers 20% faster FPS and 20% improved energy efficiency, said the company.
These feature smart resource optimization, optimize 5G and Wi-Fi game connections, and support Bluetooth LE Audio technology with Dual-Link True Wireless Stereo Audio.
The Dimensity 7300 chipsets feature MediaTek Imagiq 950, featuring a 12-bit HDR-ISP with support for a 200MP main camera, new hardware engines providing precise noise reduction (MCNR), face detection (HWFD), and video HDR.
Live focus photo performance is up to 1.3X faster and photo remastering is up to 1.5X faster than the Dimensity 7050, says the company. MediaTek APU 655 promises twice the AI performance of the Dimensity 7050.
