List of Phones with MediaTek Dimensity 1000 5G Processor

While Snapdragon and Exynos processors were able to get ahead of MediaTek in terms of 5G chip, but MediaTek now has come back strongly. Everyone has been waiting for a flagship chipset from MediaTek and finally we have the MediaTek Dimensity 1000 5G. This will go up against the likes of the Snapdragon 865 and Exynos 990. This is based on 7nm technology, a first from MediaTek. This makes power-efficient and powerful, as a mobile processor can be. Now, let’s talk about the MediaTek Dimensity 1000 phones that will arrive in 2021. Also, we have discussed the best features of the world’s most capable MediaTek 5G Chip.

MediaTek Dimensity 1000 SoC Brings 5G to Everyone

In the Dimensity 1000, MediaTek went with an architecture called the little-big architecture to form the CPU with eight cores in total. This includes four high-performance Cortex A77 cores clocked at 2.6 GHz, and four power-efficient cores all clocked at 2.2 GHz. Moving on to the GPU, we have the latest Mali-G77 MP9, which can easily run any graphics-intensive game with ease.

We have five cores to handle APU related tasks, and the company claims that these five APU setups can perform 4.5 TOPs computational tasks. This five core setup consists of two high-performance cores, two medium performance cores and one efficient core. As per the task at hand, all these cores will come together to provide an optimum result without consuming much power. In the APU department too, we see the little-medium-big architecture, similar to the one in the CPU.

Here Meditek went with the Helio M70 modem for ensuring 5G connectivity on both the SIM. It is the world’s first chipset to have the capacity to run 5G on Dual SIM. The Helio M70 allows for a download speed of 4.7 GBps and an upload speed of 2.5 Gbps. As compared to Snapdragon’s X50 modem, the Helio M70 offers 30 per cent more coverage of network while consuming 42 per cent less battery. This is one of the reasons why MediaTek might just win the 5G war against Qualcomm next year.
