MediaTek introduced a few new chips for its entry-level 5G vary. Whereas at first look the brand new Dimensity 7300 and 7300x processors wouldn’t deserve a lot consideration, the latter mannequin contains help for twin shows, with MediaTek mentioning flip-style foldable telephones. OK, you bought our consideration.
Whereas the Dimensity 7000 sequence was once MediaTek’s intermediate vary, lately the choices in that household have develop into extra according to the low-end phase, with older CPU cores and decrease working frequencies, and the Dimensity 7300 fashions are not any completely different.
Each the 7300 and 7300x are powered by ARM’s Cortex-A78 cores (from 2020) at as much as 2.5 GHz for the efficiency cores. The effectivity cores are the Cortex-A55, whereas the GPUs are from a more moderen technology, the Mali-G615.
MediaTek advertises 20% sooner FPS and 20% higher power effectivity in comparison with rivals, with out mentioning particular fashions. That may partially be attributed to the utilization of TSMC’s N4 course of, sooner, extra compact, and with much less energy consumption than the N6 tech used on rival choices.
Extra attention-grabbing, although, is the help for twin shows on the Dimensity 7300X, which can be utilized on foldable telephones and their mixture of inner/exterior shows. The low-power options of that chip might supply a very good place to begin for an entry-level foldable, particularly a flip-style one, one thing that MediaTek emphasised in its announcement.

Each Dimensity chips characteristic a dual-SIM 5G modem and likewise help tri-band Wi-Fi 6E (11ax). The picture processing core Imagiq 950 helps as much as 200-megapixel cameras and to not skip on 2024’s pattern, there’s the same old MediaTek APU for AI duties.
MediaTek didn’t disclose particular telephones that might be powered by the brand new chips and didn’t give a timeline for when to count on the primary launches, however we may even see some bulletins throughout Computex Taiwan, to be held between June third and seventh in Taipei.
