Finally, MediaTek is catching up with Qualcomm in terms of processor performance. For a while, the Snapdragon processors were the only choice of options for Android smartphone manufacturers for manufacturing their flagship devices. But now we finally have the Dimensity series processors from MediaTek, which are even quite cheap. Last year, we had the Dimensity 1000 as the flagship processor, and this year we have the refreshed version, the MediaTek Dimensity 1100. So, what is new about this processor? Let’s take a look.
MediaTek Dimensity 1100 Processor
The Dimensity 1100 5G processor is an octa-core processor built on a 6nm manufacturing process. The configuration consists of four Super performance ARM Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.6 GHz and four power-efficient Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz. It is a 5G integrated chip, and any device with this processor will be future-ready. MediaTek also claims that this processor takes the least amount of time to click and process a night-mode picture. There are many new additions, but all of them are either gimmicky or of minimal importance.
Here is the list of MediaTek Dimensity 1100-powered phones
