MediaTek launched its first-ever 5G chipset, the Dimensity 1000, back in November last year. It has since expanded the lineup with the addition of the Dimensity 800 5G chipset. And as promised, MediaTek has today announced an updated version of its first 5G chipset. It’s called MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ (following in Qualcomm’s footsteps) and comes with display and 5G connectivity enhancements in tow.
MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ is based on the same architecture as the original chipset. The company hasn’t made any major changes to the CPU and GPU. You still get four high-performance A77 cores and four energy-efficient A55 cores with the maximum clock speed going up to 2.6GHz. The GPU on board is the ARM Mali-G77 MC9.
The gaming experience, on the other hand, sees improvements due to HyperEngine 2.0. It includes improvements to power management, intelligently switching between 5G and 4G networks, and continuous low-latency gaming.
