MediaTek announces 6nm Dimensity 1100, 1200 Flagship 5G Smartphone chipsets

MediaTek has finally announced not one but two Dimensity 5G chipsets. These are the successors to the last year’s Dimensity 1000+ chipset. They feature the updated ARM Cortex-A78 core and are built on the newer TSMC’s 6nm process.

MediaTek announced two new chipsets- Dimensity 1100 and Dimensity 1200 5G. These smartphone chipsets are built on the TSMC’s 6nm compared to 7nm on Dimensity 1000+. Also, you get the boosted clock speed of up to 3GHz on the Dimensity 1200. MediaTek says that the chipsets feature updated AI, Camera, Connectivity, and GPU capabilities.
