Someone once asked me, when will 5G mobile phone become as popular as 4G mobile phones? I replied, at least we have to wait for the G single chip to become popular! Later, with the continuous development of the industry, at the end of 2019, we finally saw the birth of 5G SoC products one after another.

Shenzhen was still very hot at the end of November, but it was not unbearable. The cool breeze blowing against my face made people feel quite comfortable. Of course, this time I came not to find a comfortable living space outside the cold north. But to witness the release of MediaTek’s first 5G SoC product.

Prior to this, MediaTek stated in many communications that it would bring the first 5G SoC product to the market in the second half of 2019. Now, it has indeed fulfilled its promise. Moreover, the new 5G SoC also has a new name- Dimensity 1000.

Dimensity 1000

Regarding Dimensity 1000, MediaTek General Manager Chen Guanzhou said: "Dimensity 1000 is the crystallization of MediaTek's technological investment in the 5G field, making us a global leader in promoting 5G development and innovation, leading 5G technology and the entire industry. Progress. Dimensity is one of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, guiding the technological direction of the 5G era. We name the 5G solution after this, symbolizing that we are the leader of the 5G era, the leader in technology and products, and the standard setter. An active participant, it is also a promoter of the 5G industry ecosystem. Dimensity 1000 will bring consumers a faster, smarter, and more comprehensive mobile experience. "

So, what kind of product is it that can use Beidou? What about the naming of the third star?

.51 million runs every second every day

In fact, the author generally does not like to use adjectives like "every second and every second" to describe a product, but from the official Antutu Dimensity Judging from the running score of 1,000, the score of 511,363 indeed surpasses the running scores of all existing models. Using "every second, every day, every second," may be the easiest way for everyone to understand.

The running score of Dimensity 1000 released by Antutu

Perhaps such running score is the reason why MediaTek named it Dimensity!

The biggest feature of Dimensity 1000 - integrated 5G

If you ask me, what is the biggest difference between Dimensity 1000 and previous products? The author feels that it is not so much the biggest difference as the most obvious feature, which is naturally the integrated 5G modem .

Dimensity 1000 integrates the MediaTek 5G modem, which provides significant power savings compared to other solutions available. It supports advanced 5G dual carrier aggregation (2CC CA) technology, and is also the world's first chip to support 5G dual card dual standby. Dimensity 1000 has the world’s fastest 5G network throughput, reaching 4.7Gbps downlink and 2.5Gbps uplink speeds in the Sub-6GHz frequency band. In addition, it supports SA independent networking and NSA non-independent networking in the Sub-6GHz frequency band, as well as cellular network connections of all generations from 2G to 5G.

The above is the official introduction method, please translate it. For users, if you choose a smart terminal equipped with Dimensity 1000, you can put two 5G cards into the phone at the same time. Both cards can support 5G networking. In addition, answering calls, sending text messages, etc. will not cause the 5G network to be disconnected. Of course, you don’t need to consider the local operator’s networking method (which can be simply understood as the network standard in the 4G era). You can enjoy the ultra-fast 5G network experience in any country in the world.

For terminal equipment manufacturers, the biggest benefit brought by integrated 5G SoC lies in mobile phone design. Since the 5G baseband is integrated into an SoC, it provides more space for the internal space design of the mobile phone. This is really crucial for 5G mobile phones where every inch of internal space is precious!

In addition, in terms of wireless connection, Dimensity 1000 also supports the latest Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1+ standards, which can achieve the fastest and most efficient local wireless connection, providing more than 1Gbps in both downlink and uplink speeds. network throughput.

Dimensity 1000

integrated with several world firsts, of course, in addition to the 5G networking experience.Dimensity 1000 also provides users with flagship-level configurations in terms of overall performance. At the same time, it has also successfully become the number one 5G SoC in the world.

First of all, on the CPU, the Dimensity 1000 uses 4 ARM Cortex-A77 cores with a main frequency of 2.6GHz, and is also equipped with 4 ARM Cortex-A55 cores with a main frequency of 2.0GHz. It still seems to be a combination of 4 large + 4 small, but the performance improvement brought by four A77s is comparable to that of a nuclear bomb. This also makes Dimensity 1000 the first product with four built-in A77 cores. Such an architecture enables the CPU part of Dimensity 1000 to achieve the best balance between performance and power consumption.

Secondly, on GPU, Dimensity 1000 uses 9 ARM Mali-G77 GPU cores to create the strongest GPU processing performance at the smart terminal level. This is also to match the larger and faster image processing brought by the 5G network. needs.

Finally, let’s talk about the smart part. In this part, Dimensity 1000 adopts a new architecture MediaTek independent AI processor-APU3.0, which adopts a new architecture of 2 large + 3 small + 1 micro to improve the overall APU. While improving performance, it also takes into account the control of power consumption. It has an AI computing power of up to 4.5 TOPS. With it, Dimensity 1000 once again refreshed Zurich’s AI running score rankings and regained the top spot.

AI cameras, games and other application experiences have been comprehensively improved

If the above mentioned are rigid parameter improvements in hardware, then in this part, the author is more like talking about the user experience upgrade brought by Dimensity 1000.

First of all, it goes without saying that the first experience upgrade brought by 5G SoC is naturally the upgrade of networking experience. Thanks to MediaTek’s technological accumulation in 5G baseband, Dimensity 1000 can bring users the highest network connection rate currently, including download and upload speeds. For users who currently live in the era of short videos, whether you are watching videos, uploading videos, or posting videos, you can enjoy the new experience brought by high-speed networks, which is not a blessing.

Secondly, mobile game players are no longer a niche group. Nowadays, no matter what scene you are in, you can seem to see mobile phone users turning their smartphones sideways to kill time with games. The overall performance improvement of Dimensity 1000 allows end users to obtain higher-definition game interfaces and a smoother gaming experience, especially the 90-120 frame refresh rate, which makes the overall connection of the game screen as smooth as flowing water, bringing Come for a comprehensive upgrade of your gaming experience!

Finally, let’s talk about photography. Dimensity 1000 adds an update to the original AI camera capabilities of MediaTek chips. The smarter and easier-to-use AI camera is naturally a major advantage of the Dimensity 1000. The AI ​​independent processor APU3.0 supports advanced AI camera functions, including auto-focus, auto-exposure, auto-white balance, noise reduction, high dynamic range HDR and AI face recognition, and is the world's first 4K HDR video to support multi-frame exposure . All of this has comprehensively improved the user experience for people who are accustomed to using mobile phones to take photos and record their lives.

is written at the end

Nowadays, for smart terminal chips, manufacturers do not need to emphasize positioning. Dimensity 1000 5G SoC, even without mentioning it, everyone can feel that it will be used in flagship products first. Ultra-high 5G network connection speed, ultra-high running scores, and ranking-breaking AI computing power are all the characteristics that flagship product chips should have.

According to official news, Dimensity 1000 will begin mass production and shipment in December, and the first terminal equipped with Dimensity 1000 will be mass produced and launched in the first quarter of 2020. There is no doubt that with Dimensity 1000, MediaTek has taken the lead in 5G SoC. After that, it may still depend on the market’s feedback on the product.
