A recent leak has revealed that MediaTek’s next-generation flagship chipset, the Dimensity 2000, will be based on the latest ARMv9 design. This is in line with earlier reports that MediaTek is one of the first companies to use TSMC’s advanced 4nm manufacturing process.
Chip Specifications
The Dimensity 2000 is expected to feature:
- One Cortex-X2 Prime core running at 3.0 GHz
- Three Cortex-A710 cores
- Four Cortex-A510 cores
- Mali-G710-MC10 GPU
This configuration is similar to the Snapdragon 898 and Exynos 2200 chipsets, but with some differences in manufacturing process and GPU design.
GPU Performance
The Mali-G710 GPU is expected to offer a 20% increase in performance and power efficiency compared to its predecessor, the Mali-G78. Additionally, it is expected to provide a 35% boost in machine learning tasks.
Release Date
The Dimensity 2000 chipset is expected to be released by the end of 2021 or early 2022, along with other flagship chipsets from Qualcomm and Samsung. The first smartphones using these chipsets are expected to arrive by the end of next year.
Note
The current semiconductor crisis may affect the release plans, but MediaTek is expected to launch the new Dimensity series before the end of 2021.
