MeidaTek has just announced its latest octa-core Dimensity 820 chipset for mid-range smartphone. It is a slightly beefed up version of Dimensity 800, which was announced earlier in January.
The Dimensity 820 is based on 7nm process and houses slightly overclocked CPU and GPU. It houses 64-bit Octa-cores consisting of four 2.6Ghz A76 cores and four 2GHz A55 cores. It is paired with Mali-G57 MC5 GPU.
The SoC also include dedicated MediaTek APU 3.0 which offers enhanced AI-camera capabilities. Its Hyper Engine 2.0 Gaming technology improves gaming performance, reduces latency and adjusts CPU/GPU/Memory resources for better experience.
The MediaTek Dimensity 820 also comes with Imagiq 5.0 which is a flagship-class, HDR-Native image signal processor (ISP) which allows up to 80MP sensor. The SoC can also handle 4K video.
