MediaTek Dimensity 8000 Series 5G Chipset For High-End Smartphone Debuts: What We Expect To See

MediaTek is not resting on its laurels, and to prove this point it has launched another premium chipset for smartphones as part of the Dimensity series. The new Dimensity 8000 lineup includes the Dimensity 8000 and the Dimensity 8100 octa-core SoC that you’ll be seeing on smartphones very soon. Xiaomi and Realme are the first benefactors of this chipset, who are bringing phones with this hardware in the coming months.

The big highlight of the Dimensity 8000 series is that MediaTek has borrowed some of its internals from the premium Dimensity 9000 which was announced earlier.

Display: MediaTek claims both these chipsets can support a Full HD+ screen with up to 168Hz refresh rate. In the case of the Dimensity 8100, you can even get a WQHD+ resolution with 120Hz refresh rate.
