MediaTek is on the cusp of a wave and it doesn’t seem like it plans to get out of it anytime soon. Not only does the Chinese manufacturer sell the most mobile chipsets, but it also holds the high-end crown with the Dimensity 9300.
However, high-end chips are far from being the best sellers, because the market is supported by the middle and low range, which the company knows very well. So the company brought us a new bet that is cheaper than the 9000 series chip, but not as reliable. What are we talking about? Well, the new MediaTek Dimensity 8300, a SoC that can crack the mid-high range and come to compete with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3.
All specifications of MediaTek Dimensity 8300
Dimensity 8300 improves the graphics performance by up to 60% and the CPU by up to 20%.
The new MediaTek Dimensity 8300 is made with the same process as its older brother. TSMC’s second-generation 4nm node. Its processor opts for a 4+4 core configuration, but sticking to ARM’s classic big.small models: 4 high-performance Cortex-A715 cores + 4 high-efficiency Cortex-A510 cores.
With this combination, MediaTek claims that the Dimensity 8300 packs 20% more power than the 8200 and up to 30% more power. The previous one was already a great chip, but this is just food..
By making the jump to LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage with MCQ, the Dimensity 8300 also scores more points under its belt. In fact, the brand claims it can open apps from scratch (storage) and up to 17% faster. Up to 47% faster if you are on vacation (Random Access Memory).
The Dimensity 8300’s graphics also take a significant leap forward, as the Mali-G615 MC6 GPU is up to 60% better than its predecessor. Up to 55% more effective. Well, MediaTek put all their effort into this chip, even though it still lacks.
Thanks to MediaTek HyperEngine and its Adaptive Game Technology 2.0, there are other improvements in games: up to 24% more performance when loading games (scene changes) and 24% less consumption when working at full capacity.
Generative AI reaches the mid-range with the Dimension 8300 and there are improvements in other areas as well.
Is there more? If the truth is. This new SoC equips the MediaTek 780 APU, an AI chip more powerful than its predecessor (APU 580). how much is it? A lot of creative AI to mid range and Run different AI models locally. Qualcomm didn’t even dare to do this much with Snapdragon 7 Gen 3.
The display chip of this SoC is MiraVision 880, which is powered by AI to improve the displayed image quality. It is compatible with WQHD+ panels with refresh rates up to 120 Hz, or Full HD+ panels with a frequency of up to 180 Hz. It also supports HDR10+ and AV1 resolution in 4K.
The Imagiq 980 is an ISP capable of processing 4K videos @ 60 FPS in HDR while consuming 10% less power. It also allows you to record 4K videos in HDR using two cameras simultaneously, a genius only for loft beds.
Of course, being part of the Dimension series, the 8300 has 5G connectivity (up to 5.17 Gbps download and 15% less consumption). It is also compatible with tri-band WiFi 6E networks, different geolocation systems on different bands and Bluetooth 5.4. Come on, what It’s super saucy..
When will the first MediaTek Dimensity 8300 phones launch?
Although no manufacturer has yet announced their intention to use this SoC, it is expected to happen soon. The 8200 was fantastic and the Dimensity 8300 far surpasses it, so many will be interested in using it.
The first phones with this chipset will be available before the end of the year Most votes are with Vivo and Xiaomi.. The 8200 has been used by many manufacturers, so why not repeat it?
