MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ vs MediaTek Dimensity 8200-Ultra vs MediaTek Dimensity 1300

MediaTek Dimensity 9200+

The MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ (9200 Plus) is a high-end SoC with an integrated 5G and Wi-Fi 7 modem. It includes one fast Cortex-X3 core with up to 3.35 GHz, three more A715 cores with up to 3 GHz and four power efficiency cores (Cortex-A510) with up to 2 GHz. The SoC is manufactured in the 2nd generation of the 4nm process at TSMC. All CPU cores can together use 8 MB of level 3 cache and 6 MB of System Level Cache (SLC).

Compared to the Dimensity 9200, the Plus model offers an increased peak performance of the CPU and GPU. The CPU clusters all offer higher clock speeds and also the Immortalis-G715 offers a 17% higher clock. Mediatek state, that this leads to a 10% higher CPU and GPU performance.

The integrated memory controller now supports LPDDR5X with 8533 Mbps. AI workloads can be accelerated with the APU 680.

The Dimensity 9200+ is manufactured in the modern 2nd generation 4nm process at TSMC.

MediaTek Dimensity 8200-Ultra

The MediaTek Dimensity 8200-Ultra is a upper mid-range ARM-based SoC (system-on-a-chip) that is manufactured using the modern 4 nm process. It was specially designed for use in Android smartphones and is in the upper class in terms of performance. It supports all current mobile communication standards, including 5G SA. 

The CPU works with a total of eight cores, which are divided into two clusters. In the first cluster, an ARM Cortex-A78 power core clocked at 3.1 GHz is joined by three further ARM Cortex-A78 power cores clocked at 3 GHz. In the second cluster, four ARM Cortex-A55 power cores operate at 2.0 GHz. LPDDR5 RAM can be used as RAM and UFS 3.1 is supported as internal memory. 

In terms of connectivity, dual 5G with a theoretical peak download speed of up to 4.7 GBit/s is available, as well as WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

The Mediatek Dimensity 8200-Ultra is a variant of the otherwise identical Mediatek Dimensity 8200 that has been specially customised for Xiaomi and features improvements to the camera ISP. An Imagiq 785 image processor is responsible for processing the camera data. Video recordings are supported with up to 4K at 60 fps. The CPU part of the older Dimensity 8100 is very similar and offers the same CPU and GPU cores.

The integrated ARM Mali-G610 MC6 graphics unit can power displays with a resolution of up to 2,960 x 1,440 pixels (WQHD+) and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. With Full HD+, even up to 180 Hz is possible.

MediaTek Dimensity 1300

The Mediatek Dimensity 1300 is a high-end SoC with an integrated 5G modem. It includes three CPU clusters. One fast ARM Cortex-A78 at up to 3 GHz with 2x L2 cache, 3 additional A78 with up to 2.6 GHz and for power efficiency four ARM Cortex-A55 cores at up to 2 GHz. The SoC looks to be identical to the older Dimensity 1200.

Furthermore, the chip integrates a 9 core ARM Mali-G77 MC9 GPU, a Wi-fi 6 modem (ax), a LPDDR4x memory controller (up to 5266Mbps), a AI processing unit (APU 3.0 with 6 cores) and video de- and encoding (including AV1).

The chip is manufactured in the modern 6nm process and should be very power efficient.
