By the end of the year, it is basically that , Qualcomm and , MediaTek , will release flagship chips. This year, MediaTek has taken the lead and released its latest flagship chip, which is the rumored Dimensity 9200, which also gives us a glimpse of the mainstream performance level of flagships in the Android camp next year.
Dimensity 9200 has greatly improved performance
From the perspective of performance, Dimensity 9200 is built on TSMC's second-generation 4nm process and integrates up to 17 billion transistors . CPU still maintains the "1+3+4" architecture design, and rounding is also an eight-core, including a Cortex-X3 super-large core with a main frequency of 3.05GHz, and 3 Cortex-A715 large cores and 4 Cortex-A510 small cores. It is equipped with 8MB Level 3 cache and 6MB system-level cache, which is consistent with the previous generation of Dimensity 9000.
. Official data shows that compared with the previous generation of Dimensity 9000, the single-core performance has been improved by 12%, and the multi-core performance has also been improved by 10%. Antutu's running score exceeded 1.26 million points, making it the top spot in the Android camp at present.
Interestingly, in order to improve performance, it has been a consensus among many chip manufacturers that have lost the historical burden of 32-bit software, and Dimensity 9200 also does the same. However, this historical burden was lost but not completely removed. These 4 Cortex-A510 small cores can still run from 32 old applications.
In addition to the CPU part, GPU is considered a highlight, because Dimensity 9200 has upgraded the latest Immortalis-G715 GPU, GFXBench Manhattan 3.0 score has increased by 32%, and power consumption has also been reduced by 41%. 's energy efficiency is excellent than . Judging from the actual gaming experience, the most expensive configuration of " Genshin Impact ", Dimensity 9200 frames can be increased by 15%. The most important thing is that the stability of the frame number has been greatly improved, and you can basically play "Genshin Impact" for 60 frames for a long time. As for more popular mobile games such as " Honor of Kings " and " Peace Elite ", Dimensity 9200 can almost perfectly control 120 frames and run stably.
In addition to performance, there are many new technologies
. Of course, the performance improvement is definitely a matter of course. After all, if the new generation of products has no performance improvement, it is a bit unreasonable. But in addition to performance, it will definitely bring some other new things, that is, ray tracing technology. In fact, strictly speaking, ray tracing is not a new technology. After all, after the RTX20 series graphics card, ray tracing technology has become a technology that many new PC games are equipped with.
Now this trend has also struck mobile games. At the Dimensity 9200 press conference, the official also showed a ray tracing technology, using the "Dark Zone Breakthrough" game developed by Tencent , which supports hardware-level ray tracing technology. Judging from the actual demonstration results, the effect is amazing, greatly increasing the game's sense of presence and immersion. However, it should be noted that it is completely different from PC games. Currently, there are not many games that support ray tracing technology on mobile phones. If more games support ray tracing technology, hardware and software manufacturers need to work together.
In addition to traditional performance, image is also the focus of Dimensity 9200. After all, the most powerful thing on mobile phones is image, so the ISP performance of the chip is very important. This time, Dimensity 9200 has upgraded the Imagiq 890 ISP and supports RGBW sensor. When turning on HDR or dark light, you can get brighter and sharper photos and videos.
, and ISP also combines APU, using AI technology to analyze environmental colors, object structure, motion, etc., and then layer the labels and adjust the colors to improve the overall image quality. Therefore, Dimensity 9200 not only has good image capture and AI noise reduction capabilities, but also supports AI dual-track capture and movie mode, greatly improving the usability of image shooting.
finally has the communication capabilities of Dimensity 9200. Compared with the previous generation, Dimensity 9200's 5G baseband combined with AI artificial intelligence technology has realized the functions of finding the network, returning the network, and faster network speeds, and supports more network standard and more than 100+ frequency band combinations, bringing better communication solutions.In addition, Dimensity 9200 is the first to support WiFi7 technology and Bluetooth audio LE Audio, providing stronger and more stable signals and longer connection distances. Can
Dimensity 9200 continue to stabilize MediaTek's high-end market?
From the Dimensity 9200 product itself, we can still see MediaTek's product strength. After the previous generation of Dimensity 9000 successfully opened the door to flagship and Dimensity 8100 stabilized the mid-range market, people's impression of MediaTek has changed a lot, and it is no longer the manufacturer that supplied chips for counterfeit machines back then.
In fact, since entering the smartphone era, MediaTek's market share of has not been low. Even since the third quarter of 2020, MediaTek has become the largest mobile phone chip manufacturer in the market, surpassing Qualcomm. Now, after using Dimensity 9000 and 8100 to stabilize its reputation, MediaTek has always achieved a good market reverse.
Especially in the current market, MediaTek has a share of up to 40%, firmly sitting firmly at the top. It can be said that this is definitely the best era for MediaTek. No matter how weak it is than Qualcomm, it even challenges , Apple . After all, Dimensity 9200 will not have any disadvantages when facing Apple A16. If the next generation A17 chip continues to squeeze toothpaste, it is not impossible for the Android camp's chip performance to remain ahead. The biggest problem with
is that in addition to the first launch of vivo, which manufacturers will choose to release the Dimensity 9200 chip on their flagships, and have maintained their high-end status. Let's wait and see.
