The Voice of Reason, 21 Jan 2020SnapDragon 855 is 50% (!) faster than Snapdragon 845. Sn... morecool down a little bit...that's normal because both SoCs, 855 and 865 are 7nm.
This improvement is enough for this year. Every second year is large improvement because they are moving to less nm

    And that's Geekbench 5, the score is a lot lower than the version 4...
    So if you expected a big difference, you're wrong.
    Mediatek may have caught up to Qualcomm but is still behind in performance.

      Hackbox, 22 Jan 2020i am expecting mediatek dimensity 1000 on Pro version.It should be given in k30 and not pro.. .cause snapdragon still rocks.....

        Hackbox, 22 Jan 2020i am expecting mediatek dimensity 1000 on Pro version.True.. Redmi phone should considering to be cheaper because upper class is filled by Mi series. Let Mi 10 series using SD865. Not Redmi series. Redmi series will always be attacked by Realme. So, pricing is very sensitive on this segment.

            Any news about the selfie camera? Are they still going with that ugly pill shaped punchole?

              Anonymous, 22 Jan 2020Sharp has 120Hz phones with 6xx snapdragon series. Yeah people forget that Sharp has been releasing 120hz displays on phones for YEARS now with much weaker chipsets and they run flawlessly.

If Dimensity 1000 perform a little bit lower than SD865 but the price is quite cheaper, Redmi should considering choose Mediatek Dimensity 1000 to make the price cheap. As we have known that Redmi series is for cheaper Xiaomi segment. Mi series for exampe Mi 10 use SD865 because Mi series is more expensive especially when Redmi brand is separated. Poco is other area. It's using all plastic to make soooo cheap.

                          Pro version good enough to run 120hz.
                          K30 with the 730G is a little underpowered to run that 120hz display.
                          K30 should have atleast given us SD 765G chipset.

                              See the pattern here? Short refresh cycle for commoditized goods like smartphones.

                                You're calling that "marginal improvements"?

                                Remind me the last time when Intel had such improvements if ever. Oh, and the Apple A12 SoC is "just" 20% faster than A11.

                                  Hm, that's a new platform/motherboard - "lmi", previously it was "kona".

                                    Mediateks dimensity chip is the more interesting

                                    Qualcomm is out of control with their monopoly pricing

                                    I'm dying to see a phone with the full power dimensity chipset

                                    Every year the same old Snapdragon with some marginal improvement here and there

                                    Bring on the competition please!

                                      According to engineers testing those Dimencity chips, MediaTek has, broadly speaking, reached the technical parity with Qualcomm, in terms of general performance (cpu, gpu), thermal efficiency, and heat management. MediaTek's 5G modem outperforms Qualcomm 5G solutions. Because of the 5G focus of those smartphone-makers for 2020, Dimencity chips become the choice of chip for 5G smartphones. They also prefer a 5G solution with an integrated 5G modem. Hopefully, Qualcomm will come back with a flagship chip with integrated 5G modem.

Manufacturers stay away from MTK for other reasons such as a poor record with open source. I have had some MediaTek phones before. Most of them received only one version update. Running a custom ROM to make up for this is practically impossible.
