MediaTek Dimensity 820 unveiled: higher CPU clock speeds, extra GPU core and dual SIM 5G

18 May 2020
It's the same base hardware as the Dimensity 800, but the four Cortex-A76 cores run at 2.6GHz (up from 2.0GHz). Also, the GPU now has five cores.

Also quick search just sho... moreSo u need a 3.1ghz core that will get heat up quickly and will throtel down.In smartohones the main thing is not thw speed the main thing for how much long the chip can maintain the cores at higher clock without being lossing performace its about efficiency.And yes a 4core 3.1ghz will need a fan to cool it off.

          In paper that specification looks great and it will perform great too but their are 4 big overclocked cores so just worried about the heat and efficiency.We have to check this chip after using it for 2years after that we have to see is it efficient or how much heat it produces.New phones will always perform better but real matter how it will perform after 2years and in this field snapdragon is a champ

                              Launch a device with MTK Dimensity 820 in India with 5G Support, 64 MP main + 2x Telephoto + Ultrawide Cameras with OLED Display under 22K INR... And It'll be a huge hit... And I will certainly buy it no matter what...

                              Just Don't forget to include MicroSD Card Support (Either Hybrid/Dedicated) and only one punch hole camera or pop-up camera... No Need for Dual Punch Hole Shit or 120Hz Battery sucking phones...

                                difference from 820 to 1000+ is the gpu lol and 1000+ max clock is 2.6ghz my poco sd845 got cores with 2.8ghz lol mali g77 is only good thing there this gpu from samsung s20

                                  looks like mediatek started the same battle with Qualcomm as Amd is currently doing with intel

                                        Sounds like an awesome chip even if they cheated a little in benchmarks.
