Form foundry partnership

Intel and MediaTek today announced a strategic partnership to manufacture chips using Intel Foundry Services’ (IFS) advanced process technologies.

Improved CPU and GPU

MediaTek is pushing its Dimensity 9000 Plus launch earlier than expected.

In some of its flagships 

The dark satanic rumour mill has manufactured a hell on earth yarn claiming that Samsung is reportedly considering a switch to MediaTek chips for at least some of its forthcoming flagship phones, including the Samsung Galaxy S23.

Flagship tech for 5G

MediaTek today launched the Dimensity 8100 and Dimensity 8000 system-on-chips (SoCs) which it claims will bring flagship level technology to premium 5G smartphones.

Updated: Counterpoint claims Qualcomm has 55 vs 37 percent

MediaTek might have just beaten out Qualcomm to claim the biggest market share of any chipmaker for Android phones in the United States.

Lacks in GPU, 5G, imaging, features 

MediaTek Dimensity 9000 got a lot of coverage, and the marketing machine is trying to promote this chipset as a premium. Guess what? Dimensity 9000 is not a premium chipset as it suffers from stitched stock Cortex IP, stock Mali GPU, lack of premium phone design wins, and, most importantly, too optimistic SoC clocks. The clocks, especially the mid-cluster, might get the company in trouble due to the high energy drain. 

Taken up by OPPO, vivo, Xiaomi and Honor

MediaTek today launched its Dimensity 9000 5G smartphone chip for next-generation flagship smartphones, and announced device maker adoption and endorsements from some of the world’s biggest smartphone brands, including OPPO, vivo, Xiaomi and Honor.

Targeting Qualcomm’s turf with 4nm Dimensity 9000

MediaTek has released a new 5G smartphone chip that it hopes will be used in premium-priced Android smartphones.

Gets a better camera and 33W fast charging

While the Poco M3 Pro 5G was unveiled not more than six months ago, Poco has now prepared the replacement in the form of the Poco M4 Pro 5G, giving it a slightly larger screen, Mediatek's Dimensity 810 SoC, better camera system, and 33W fast charging.

Leaked Realme 8s is the most likely candidate

With Mediatek unveiling its new 6nm mid-range 5G chipsets, the Dimensity 810 and Dimensity 920, it does not come as a surprise that smartphone makers are lining up and Realme might be the first to use the smaller Dimensity 810.
