Using the Computex 2022 framework, MediaTeck has just announced the arrival of a new mobile processor Dimensity 1050, its first processor to support mmWave 5G networkswhich will begin shipping on some of the phones that are already scheduled for release in the third quarter of this year.

It is a chipset built by a 6-nanometer process with an Octa-Core configuration consisting of two 2.5 GHz ARM Cortex-A78 CPU cores and six 2 GHz ARM Cortex-A55 CPU cores with Mali-G610 MC3 graphics. Although, as we said, the big news of the Dimensity 1050 is its compatibility with wireless networks, as it is the company’s first processor to support mmWave 5G with 4CC media aggregation, with maximum download speed up to 4.6 Gbps. Compatibility to which other networks are added, such as sub-6 GHz 5G with aggregation of 3CC carriers, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.

MediaTek Dimensity 1050, aimed at a new premium line of mobile phones, will also be compatible with LPDDR4X and LPDDR5 RAMas with both UFS 2.1 and UFS 3.1 repositorieswhich offers some additional features such as support for screens up to 144 Hzresolution up to 2520 x 1080 pixels, and camera support up to 108MP or a dual 20MP camera that supports recording up to two HDR videos simultaneously.

The new processor is expected to help MediaTek further expand in this high-end terminal market, as the company is currently one of the world’s leading smartphone chip manufacturers, but its presence will focus on affordable device lines. and the middle class.

MediaTek therefore covers this small space from the middle to the top and complements its announcements presentation of Dimensity 930 and Helio G99both built in 6 nanometers.

Starting with the Dimensity family, this is the goal of this new processor intermediate level between premium middle and upper class. Again under an eight-core configuration, with two ARM Cortex-A78 at 2.2 GHz and six ARM Cortex-A55 cores at 2 GHz; although in this case we will see a reduction in its graphics for Imagination BXM-8-256. He sacrifices that he will continue with his compatibility, which will keep him on 5G sub-6GHz networks, he will go down to using WiFi 5 and a screen up to 120 Hz; although it highlights maintaining compatibility with cameras up to 108 MP.

As for the new Helia, we find an Octa-Core configuration with two ARM Cortex-A76 cores at 2.2 GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 2 GHz, accompanied by ARM Mali-G57 MC2 graphics. While maintaining the same compatibility for screen and camera, this is the biggest difference restrictions on 4G wireless networksas well as LPDDR4X memories and UFS 2.2 storage.
