MediaTek Dimensity 7100 now official

MediaTek has quietly announced its newest mid-range chipset, the Dimensity 7100, stepping up as the latest option for upcoming 5G smartphones. Built on TSMC’s 6nm process, the chip uses an octa-core setup with four Cortex-A78 cores clocked up to 2.4GHz for performance and four Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0GHz for power efficiency.

Graphics get a boost too, thanks to the Mali-G610 GPU, which MediaTek says is 8% faster than the Dimensity 7050. The company also claims better efficiency, up to 5% in apps, 16% in media playback, and 23% on modem power use with the UltraSave 3.0+ 5G modem, supporting speeds up to 3.3Gbps.

The chip supports LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.4, plus displays up to 120Hz and cameras up to 200MP. It also supports 45W fast charging with UFCS. Smartphones with Dimensity 7100 are expected soon.v
