MediaTek released its latest 5G mobile SoC, dubbed the MediaTek Dimensity 900 on May 13. Just like the Dimensity 1000 and Dimensity 1200, the new 5G SoC adopts the 6nm e TSMC’s 6nm process technology.
The quad-core chip comes with a third-generation MediaTek APU AI. Aside from that. it packs a highly competent Arm Mali-G68 MC4 graphics processing unit for handling graphically intensive tasks.
The long-awaited MediaTek Dimensity 820 SoC successor, the MediaTek Dimensity 900 is based on 7nm architecture. The newfangled chip brings an impressive array of improvements over its predecessors.
The MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC is designed for mid-range phones. However, it is unclear which phone will the first to be powered by the new SoC.
MediaTek Dimensity 900 adopts cutting-edge technologies
The Dimensity 900 is based on a 6nm process, making it 8 percent more efficient than the 7nm SoCs, according to the Taiwanese chipmaker. It has a quad-core setup with a couple of ARM Cortex-A78 cores clocked at up to 2.5GHz.
Aside from that, it has six ARM Cortex-A55 cores that are clocked at up to 2GHz. As far as display support is concerned, the MediaTek Dimensity 900 supports 120Hz with a Full-HD+ display.
The display adopts the MediaTek MiraVision HDR video technology. This technology automatically adjusts contrast, sharpness, brightness, colors, dynamic range in a video.
It supports enhanced HDR10+ video playback with per-frame local tone mapping. Aside from that, it comes with real-time SDR to HDR conversion support, Gadgets360 reported.
MediaTek Dimensity 900 powers the cameras
As far as photography is concerned, MediaTek Dimensity 900 is capable of handling up to a single 108MP sensor. Alternatively, it can handle two 20MP sensors at 30fps.
In addition to that, it supports hardware 4K HDR video capture. It can decode 4K 30fps HEVC/H.264/VP9 video, and encode 4K at 30fps HEVC/H.264. Smartphones using Dimensity 900 can capture every detail, according to FoneArena.
The chip combines an AI processing unit with ultra-efficient INT8, INT16, and well-defined FP16 capabilities for super-accurate AI-camera results. Moreover, it can convert SDR to HDR in real-time.
The new 5G SoC supports LPDDR5, as well as LPDDR4X RAM along with UFS 3.1 storage. In terms of connectivity, it comes with Multi-GNSS L1+L5, Wi-Fi 6 (2×2 MIMO), and supports Bluetooth v5.2.
According to the company, the 5G SoC delivers faster Wi-Fi 6, coupled with enhanced signal quality from a 2×2 antenna. It supports the latest VoNR services as well.
