MediaTek has unveiled the Dimensity 8300 processor
By ForGeeks MediaTek has announced its newest 8000 series chipset, the Dimensity 8300. The new SoC is based on TSMC’s second-generation 4nm process and is a direct successor to last year’s Dimensity 8200, offering performance improvements across the board.
The Dimensity 8300 features four high-performance Arm Cortex-A715 cores clocked up to 3.35GHz and four efficient Arm Cortex-A510 blocks clocked up to 2.2GHz. All eight cores are based on the Armv9 processor architecture. MediaTek claims that the processor’s performance has been increased by 20 percent and peak power efficiency by 30 percent, compared to the previous Dimensity 8200.
