Dimensity 6300 is considered more of a wrinkle patch than an innovation, but that still makes it a pleasant alternative.
Mediatek has announced a new mid-range Dimensity system chip with an integrated 5G modem, which is practically a copy of the Dimensity 6100+, although it is a new stepping revision, so it is possible to reach higher clocks. The parameters of the ultramobile solution are detailed in the table below:
| Type | Dimensity 6100+ |
|---|---|
| Integrated modem | yes (5G) |
| CPU architecture | ARMv8-A |
| Heterogeneous design | DynamIQ |
| number of CPU cores, clock and type | 2x 2.4GHz Cortex-A76 6 pieces, 2 GHz Cortex-A55 |
| IGP type | Mali-G57 MC2 |
| Memory controller | 2 x 16-bit LPDDR4X (2133 MHz) |
| HEVC block | 4K@30 fps (decode/encode) |
| ISP | 108 / 16+16 megapixels |
| Production technology | 6 sq m (TSMC) |
The SoC has inherited the display engine of its predecessor, so it can handle up to 2520×1080 pixel 120 Hz displays, and 10-bit AMOLED alternatives can also be used.
MediaTek will start shipping the new system chip in the spring, but it is not known exactly when it will appear in smartphones.
