MediaTek unveiled the Dimensity 820 chipset, a a lot more highly effective edition of the Dimensity 800. In comparison to the previous chip, the new model will increase CPU and GPU performance and enhances the 5G connectivity.
This is still a 7nm chip with four Cortex-A76 and four A55 cores. The variation is that the huge A76 cores run at a higher clock velocity, 2.6GHz. Up to 16GB of LPDDR4x RAM can be linked.
The Mali-G57 GPU obtained an added core, now up to 5. This should provide video games closer to the 120Hz refresh fee that is supported by the chip (when paired with the proper exhibit panel, of system). It can be not fairly a gaming cellphone chipset like the Dimensity 1000+, but will be a reliable choice for mid-rangers. Anyway, the resolution is however capped at 1080p+.
The modem was upgraded to hook up two SIM cards to a 5G community (comprehensive with VoNR help). Heres a table to summarize the differences involving the two mid-array 5G chipsets.
| Dimensity 800 | Dimensity 820 | Dimensity 1000+ | |
| Method | 7nm | 7nm | 7nm |
| CPU, big cores | Cortex-A76 @ 2.0GHz | Cortex-A76 @ 2.6GHz | Cortex-A77 @ 2.6GHz |
| CPU, small cores | Cortex-A55 @ 2.0GHz | Cortex-A55 @ 2.0GHz | Cortex-A55 @ 2.0GHz |
| GPU | Mali-G57 MC4 | Mali-G57 MC5 | Mali-G77 MC9 |
| RAM | LPDDR4x, up to 16GB | LPDDR4x, up to 16GB | LPDDR4x, up to 16GB |
| Storage | UFS | UFS | UFS |
| Display screen | 1080p+, 120Hz | 1080p+, 120Hz | 1080p+, 144Hz |
| 5G | Single SIM | Dual SIM | Dual SIM |
| Local wi-fi | Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1 | Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1 | Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1 |
How does this evaluate to Qualcomm’s offerings? We’ll be executing our possess assessments at the time the 1st phones with this chip launch, but for now we have formal figures from MediaTek to search at. They compare the 820 from the older Snapdragon 765G alternatively than the 768G, which features clock speed boosts of its individual.
Dimensity 820 vs. Snapdragon 765G: Geekbench 4.2 • GFX Manhattan 3.0 • 5G power usage • NPU
In any case, Geekbench 4.2 reveals better CPU efficiency (+7% single core, +37% multi-main), although the GPU managed a 33% better body level in GFXBench Manhattan 3.. The business is also promising reduced electrical power use for 5G and triple the NPU general performance. Again, these are formal range from MediaTek, so hold out for an impartial comparison (in particular against the S768G).
Xiaomi is seemingly first in line to use the new MediaTek Dimensity 820, regardless of whether its the Redmi K30i or the Redmi Be aware 10 (which we noticed managing Geekbench).
