The first 5nm MediaTek chipset could arrive in 2022, will be called Dimensity 2000

18 January 2021
It could be the first Dimensity chipset to use a Cortex-X core, the X2 yet to be announced, specifically.

Sony 1ii and 5ii have 4K@120 video like Asus, but HDR .
Any phone with 865/865+/888 can have it if OEM wants.

    -QHD on LCD does not make sense, much less 4k, on OLED if it has it, but no mid-range is going to put a 2k OLED screen
    -Perfect if I had it, but there is no great reason to have it either, most use ddr4x, I do not justify its lack
    -The same as above, only high-end devices use it, but I do not justify its lack
    -4k if necessary, but at 120fps? the only phone I've seen that supports it is the Rog 3, 8k? Haha please
    -If it is more debit, but with a much better graphics card

    I do not justify the lack of any, nor do I support it, but because of the price difference I am willing to lose them

          MediaTek doesn't have access to the cortex X1 program.
          So, you theory of using cortex X series core in Dimensity 2000 is a waste.

            Snipnoob, 19 Jan 2021Did you do drugs when you read? You need to find out befo... moreAnd that is according to what?
            There aren't even that many reliable enough sources to prove them all, even if they were very likely possible with such SoC power.
            Heck, even the Dimensity 1100 is only rumored to be supporting 144Hz in 1080p+, and memory support is only up to LPDDR4X, though it does indeed have UFS 3.1 support.

            Either way, what matters more is how will these processors be supported by app developers in the long run. If smartphone OEMs are already struggling to keep phones with MediaTek processors updated to the latest version of Android and security patches, how much worse will it be for third party app developers to do their job, like GCAM ports?
            Until I finally start to see a MediaTek-powered flagship receive 3 major Android OS upgrades like Snapdragon and Exynos-powered flagships, I wouldn't recognize MediaTek as a major threat to Qualcomm and Samsung anytime soon, as their main competitor could be themselves against each other instead, or go all out against Apple.

            Samsung has acquired AMD to collaborate in developing a new AMD mobile graphics in the Exynos processors next year.
            Qualcomm has hired the leader of Apple's A series chipsets. and we may be seeing massive CPU performance boosts sooner or later.
            MediaTek has got what?

                You need to find out before you give your opinion on what you don't know.
                The Dimensity 1200 delivers UFS 3.1 LPDDR5 support 8k@30fps 44@120 fps maximum resolution above 1444x2600 fdh+ enough to fight with the Snapdragon 865, and the Dimensity 2000 will be even better.

                  others will be using 3nm by then

                          We have to understand what Mediatek is exactly doing.

                          Dimensity 1000 and 1000+ was clearly superior to Snapdragon 765G, but slightly inferior to Snapdragon 865.

                          On the other hand slightly more expensive than Snapdragon 765G, but much cheaper than Snapdragon 865.

                          That's not a coincidence. They fill a gap, Qualcomm has created intentionally.

                          I'm sure their profit margin is thinner than American company's, but also it cut some corners. Dimensity 1000 is manufactured at 7nm, but probably cheaper non-EUV, previous gen 7nm. It's cache memory is probably is lower, GPU core count is lower, so die size is smaller and cheaper to build.

                          Again Dimensity 1100-1200 will be manufactured at cheaper nods, have smaller die size. They also cut a biggest core the X1, like GPU in order to make a smaller chip. Not to mention they don't have to pay for royalty for the X1.

                          It worked for Dimensity 1000 and there is no reason not to work for D1100, unless Qualcomm offers a similar chip. Which I doubt that since such a chip gonna cannibalize Snapdragon 888 business which is much more profitable.

                          On the other hand Exynos 1080 might be a competitor.

                          Developing a high end chip is not cheap. If it fails, it might sink the ship.

                          If Mediatek repeats the pattern, next year we will see a first gen 5nm chip and no Cortex-X2.

                          They could make a better chip than Snapdragon 888 IMO, implementing dual Cortex-X1, Imagination GPU and manufacturing at 5nm for example. It's not a matter of ability, rather it's ability to taking risks.

                            AljeanT, 18 Jan 2021That's to be expected since it's using 6nm. But i... moreIf you would expect it to exceed 865 since it is 6nm, but SD 888 is suffering thermal throttling and quite large drops in performance, and to compete with 888 it is supposed to be the MTK 2000, which is supposed to be for the next year, but it is expected by the end of this

                            I am also very excited about the new MTKs that have increased their quality quickly, actually I am willing to miss the difference in power between MTK 1200 and SD 888 because of the big difference in price, from my point of view it is worth it

                              JDK, 18 Jan 2021Yeah but what about compared to the 888? Why compare to the Dragon? This is a piece of meat, best for thw midrange market, and that's where most consumers lie.

                                JDK, 18 Jan 2021Yeah but what about compared to the 888? MT 2000 was actually expected to launch early this year, but it looks like it's going to take at least until the end of 2021
