MediaTek Dimensity 8300 SoC arrives with ARM v9 cores, LPDDR5x, 60% faster GPU & Generative AI capabilities

It’s here and it’s official. The sub-flagship Dimensity 8000-series chipset that made headlines a few days ago is finally launched. Dubbed MediaTek Dimensity 8300, it is built on a second-gen 4nm process from TSMC. The chipset, as said, is a successor to Dimensity 8200 SoC. Here’s everything you need to know about the chipset and what it brings to the table.

MediaTek Dimensity 8300 SoC Made its Debut

Dimensity 8300, a direct successor to Dimensity 8200, sports four ARM Cortex-A715 high-performance cores clocked at up to 3.35GHz. It is further divided into a 1+3 cores setup. Plus, there are four power-efficient ARM Cortex-A510 cores with a max frequency of 2.2GHz. The Dimensity 8200 SoC has a max frequency of 3.1GHz on its Cortex-A78 high-performance core.

Based on ARM v9 architecture, the CPU offers a 20% faster performance while power efficiency cores offer a peak of 30% compared to the last-gen 8200. When it comes to the GPU, it is ARM Mali-G615 MC6 that reportedly offers a 60% gain in terms of performance and a 55% improvement in terms of power efficiency when buzzing at its peak speeds.

MediaTek states that the new chipset can quicken app cold launch by 17% while app launch from standby has been sped up by 47% at its extremities. The chipset also supports UFS 4.0 storage with MCQ and quad-channel LPDDR5X RAM at a max 8,533Mbps speed. Compare it with the predecessor and you are talking about an increase from UFS 3.1 and LPDDR5 up to 6,400Mbps respectively.

With Dimensity 8300 SoC, the APU 780 powers Generative AI with stable diffusion and up to 10 billion parameters for LLM. This should give Dimensity 8300 SoC first-hand on AI capabilities which has become a norm on modern flagship chipsets such as Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.

Moving on, there’s Imagiq 980 ISP onbaord capable of up to 320MP of camera support with a max 4K@60fps and HDR10+ which is untouched from last generation. There’s up to 5.17Gbps of 5G downlink, 2×2 Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth v5.4 support as well. Here’s the 5G speeds have been greatly improved from last year’s 4.7Gbps downlink. Xiaomi Redmi K70E is expected to be powered by Dimensity 8300 arriving later this month in China.
