IT Home October 11th news, MediaTek today released the new mid-range chip Dimensity 1080. Compared with its predecessor Dimensity 920, Dimensity 1080 brings higher performance, better efficiency and stronger camera capabilities.

The most important change here is the chip's camera capability . The new Dimensity 1080 can process image data from sensors through Imagiq ISP, up to 200MP pixels (formerly 108MP), and supports quad cameras. It also supports hardware-accelerated 4K HDR video encoding .

The performance of this 5G chip is slightly updated, using an octa-core CPU: 2 ARM Cortex-A78 cores, with a frequency of up to 2.6GHz. 6 ARM Cortex-A55 cores with up to 2GHz. The GPU is an Arm Mali G68. It also supports LPDDR5 memory and UFS 3.1 storage modules. The GPU is still Mali-G68, and the Dimensity 1080 is still manufactured using TSMC's 6nm process. From a performance perspective, the benchmark score may not have a significant jump compared to the devices running previous generation chips.

IT Home learned that Dimensity 1080 does not have the upgraded game-specific functions (also supports HyperEngine 3.0), supports sub-6GHz 5G network, Wi-Fi 6, and has the same AI processing unit (APU).

MediumTek said that devices powered by the Dimensity 1080 chip will be available in the fourth quarter of 2022.
