MediaTek Dimensity 1200 lunched with the Big 1 cores of Cortex-A78 which is an ultra-high performance core that is clocked on 3.00 GHz, and 3 cores of high performance which are clocked on 2.6GHz. The other 4 cores is based on Cortex-A55 and are clocked on 2GHz which is power efficiency cores. There is a little disappointment that why they haven’t used the Cortex X1 or X2. But the Cortex-A78 also has the best speeds and good set instruction architecture. There are a total of 8 cores with a boost clock of 3.00 GHz. MediaTek Dimensity 1200 has the latest set instruction architecture. It is not considered fast but it is strong enough to beat some of the latest and power-full Chipsets. MediaTek Dimensity 1200 is fabricated on 6Nm. This means MediaTek Dimensity 1200 will be power efficient and will consume less battery and will produce less heat.
Graphics:
GPU name | Mali-G77 MC9 |
Architecture | Valhall |
GPU frequency | 850 MHz |
Execution units | 9 |
Shading units | 144 |
Vulkan version | 1.1 |
OpenCL version | 2.0 |
DirectX version | 12 |
MediaTek Dimensity 1200 has new architecture-based GPU. Valhall is the new architecture that they are using in the MediaTek Dimensity 1200. The GPU is also manufactured using the 6Nm technology. Which means it will also be power efficient. The name of the GPU is Mali-G77 MC9. This is the fastest GPU in this lineup. The MediaTek Dimensity 1200 is fast enough to handle games like FREE FIRE, PUBG MOBILE. The GPU score is faster than the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 this means there will be a smooth gaming experience on this chipset. The GPU is clocked on 850MHz. The shading units are also 144 which will help in rendering the graphics in gaming. There is also DirectX support of 12 which means this processor will support the latest games without any bugs and delays.
Memory:
Memory type | LPDDR4X |
Memory frequency | 4266 MHz |
Bus | 4x 16 Bit |
Max size | 16 GB |
MediaTek Dimensity 1200 uses the new LPDDR4x ram with a memory frequency of 4266MHz and uses the bus of 4×16. The ram may be changed according to the smartphones. The memory frequency is also going to be changed according to smartphones. The max memory bandwidth is 44Gbit/s which is also faster than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 which was used in Samsung Galaxy S10. The max ram support on this chipset is 16GB. This ram can be packed with the new UFS 3.1 storage thus will give you more read and write speeds.
