MediaTek Dimensity 900:
Over the last few years, MediaTek is leading in the mobiles chip market, but in 2020 the company has gone so far with record-breaking new chipsets. We’ve seen some amazing chipsets like MediaTek Dimensity 1100, MediaTek Dimensity 9000 that tops the AnTuTu 9 benchmarks, MediaTek Dimensity 1200 that was launched in ,XIAOMI 11T and many more smartphones. Now we have the full specs and full complete details of the MediaTek Dimensity 900.
AnTuTu 9:
CPU | 117573 |
GPU | 117769 |
Memory | 74820 |
UX | 110894 |
Total score | 420074 |
MediaTek Dimensity 900 shows the best AnTuTu 9 scores. We can see the big jump in the GPU and CPU performance. The total performance of the GPU is 117769, which is slower than the Snapdragon 778G. The CPU also shows one of the best scores. It is 117573 which is a bit slower than the Snapdragon 788G. The memory scores also show a significant boost. MediaTek Dimensity 900 memory is faster than Snapdragon 765G, Snapdragon 768G. The Ux is also showing one of the best performances. It is 110894, which is faster than Snapdragon 765G, Snapdragon 768G. MediaTek Dimensity 900 total scores are above 443939. It will depend on which smartphones manufacturers use this chipset with which type of ram. MediaTek Dimensity 900 is considerably gaining performance boost and beating every processor in the Mid-rand category
Geekbench 5:
Single-Core Score | 706
|
Multi-Core Score
|
2137 |
The single-core scores show the best performance in this smartphone mid-range category lineup. The single cores scores are 706. And the multi-core scores are 2137 which is also good at this point.
CPU:
Architecture | 2x 2.4 GHz – Cortex-A78 6x 2 GHz – Cortex-A55 |
Cores | 8 |
Frequency | 2400 MHz |
Instruction set | ARMv8-A |
Process | 6 nanometers |
Transistor count | 10 billion |
TDP | 10 W |
MediaTek Dimensity 900 lunched with the Big 2 cores of Cortex-A78 which is ultra-high performance cores that are clocked on 2.4 GHz. The other 2 cores are based on Cortex-A55 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 total of 8 cores with a boost clock of 2.4 GHz. MediaTek Dimensity 900 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 900 is fabricated on 6Nm. This means MediaTek Dimensity 900 will be power efficient and will consume less battery and will produce less heat. There are 10Billion transistors in this chipset which will help the chipset to get faster. The TDP is 10 which means this chipset will consume more battery.
Graphics:
GPU name | Mali-G68 MC4 |
Architecture | Valhall 2 |
GPU frequency | 900 MHz |
Execution units | 4 |
Shading units | 48 |
Vulkan version | 1.1 |
OpenCL version | 2.0 |
DirectX version | 12 |
MediaTek Dimensity 900 has a new architecture-based GPU. Valhall 2 is the new architecture that they are using in the MediaTek Dimensity 900. The GPU is also manufactured using the 6Nm technology. Which means it will also be power efficient. The name of the GPU is Mali-G68 MC4. This is the fastest GPU in this lineup. The MediaTek Dimensity 900 is fast enough to handle games like FREE FIRE, PUBG MOBILE. The GPU score is faster than the MediaTek Dimensity 900 which means there will be a smooth gaming experience on this chipset. The GPU is clocked at 900MHz. The shading units are also 48 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 | LPDDR5 |
Memory frequency | 3200 MHz |
Bus | 4x 16 Bit |
Max bandwidth | 18.4 Gbit/s |
Max size | 16 GB |
MediaTek Dimensity 900 uses the new LPDDR5 ram with the memory frequency of 3200MHz and uses the bus of 4×16. The ram may be changed according to the smartphone manufacturers, like XIAOMI, REALME, VIVO, etc. The memory frequency is also going to be changed according to the smartphone manufacturers. The max memory bandwidth is 18Gbit/s which is also faster than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G which was used in Redmi Note 10 Pro.
Support:
Neural processor (NPU) | Yes |
Storage type | UFS 2.1, UFS 3.1 |
Max display resolution | 2520 x 1080 |
Max camera resolution | 1x 108MP, 2x 20MP |
Video capture | 4K at 30FPS |
Video playback | 4K at 30FPS |
MediaTek Dimensity 900 uses its own neural engine which is fast with AI calculations and it can be used to accelerate video analysis, voice recognition, and image processing. MediaTek Dimensity 900 uses the UFS 3.1 and UFS 2.1 which is fast. This gives you fast read and writes speeds.
MediaTek Dimensity 900 has the maximum display support of FullHD+ and can support the 120Hz refresh rate with the super Amoled. MediaTek Dimensity 900 is going to be very aggressive when it comes to a camera support. It supports a camera up to 108MP. The video capture is kept on 4k at 30FPS and the video playback is also 4k at 30FPS. There is no 8k support on this MediaTek Dimensity 900. It is a bit odd to see no 8k support on a 2021 mid-range Chipset.
Connectivity:
5G support | Yes |
Wi-Fi | 6 |
Bluetooth | 5.2 |
MediaTek Dimensity 900 has 5G support. The MediaTek Dimensity 900 also comes with the wi-fi 6 and the Bluetooth version of 5.0. This will give you better signals and better speeds. MediaTek Dimensity 900 uses its own 5G modem. Which is not fast as the X65 but it gives you good speeds.
Smartphones:
Phones with Dimensity 900 | AnTuTu v9 |

2. OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G | 470241 |
3. Oppo Reno 6 5G | 420074 |
MediaTek Dimensity 900 is launched in these 3 smartphones. As you can see these 3 smartphone scores are different. Huawei Honor 50 SE is at the top. Which is a considerably great phone with this chipset.
Gaming Experience:
The gaming experience on this chipset is going to be a little faster than the MediaTek Dimensity 820. This chipset is combined with the 2 Big A78 cores which boost the performance. With 2 big Cortex A-78 cores, there are also going to be a few issues with heating. The frequency of this chipset is 2.4 GHz, which is good for long-term gaming. This chipset also supports the LPDDR5 ram. This means there will be no issues with using this chipset on a long-term gaming session. This chipset also supports a 120Hz refresh rate.
