Mediatek to launch 4nm chipset by the end of 2021

28 July 2021
Devices running on the new platform are expected as early as Q1 2022.

Sort by:

It still won't beat out the flagships SDM 888, Exynos 2100, A14, Kirin 9000

    Anonymous, 28 Jul 2021MediaTek is improving really fast. But we don't know w... moreIt might be possible. Leaks from Nuvia showed 2k+ single core on Geekbench, if they go intel 4nm or TSMC 3nm, Qualcomm might beat everything.

    Also the GAAFET is next generation transistor from FinFET, we will see smartphones clocked higher then 3.3Ghz.

      Omg, 28 Jul 2021This will trash M1M1 gimmick isn't even a competition as it doesn't run Android

          AnonD-936656, 28 Jul 2021I would guess this will be better then snapdragon 888, exyn... moreKirin has a big problem: nobody can make it right now. Pity, but that's what us have decided

            This report should be taken with a grain of salt. Mediatek exaggerates the specs of their processors to hide the weakness of their processors. For example, the Dimensity 1200 is dominated in benchmarks by the last 4 generations of Qualcomm processors, the powerful 888, 870, 865+ and 865. You have to go all the way back to the 855 to find a Qualcomm processor as slow as the Dimensity 1200.

            Even worse, Meditek overclocks their processors to make them appear more powerful than they are. This results in poor battery life, system instability and premature processor failure.

            If Mediatek wants to compete with Qualcomm and Intel they will need to open R&D centers in the USA and Europe. With a Democrat in the Whitehouse, the USA wont defend Taiwan. The Taiwanese would be wise to relocate their strategic industries to other nations outside the reach of the PRC.

              I would guess this will be better then snapdragon 888, exynos 2100 and a14 at peak power and won't throttle. A15 will be over clocked a14 so it will throttle even harder, Exynos 2200 will be the same as snapdragon 895 but will better AMD GPU.

              Kirin 9010 and Mediatek would be the best processors without any throttling at peak performance since they will be build by TSMC, Exynos would be second with the AMD GPU, Snapdragon and A14 will be the last place since they both will be thermal throttling nightmares.

              That's just my guess.

                Newest processor with the M02 modem! Let's go!

                        This will trash M1

                          I hope the performance level will be around SD 888 without the heating and throttle issue

                            And is expected to release the sources by the end of the next millennium.

                              YUKI93, 28 Jul 2021Sounds like a potential Dimensity 1200 replacement to me.perhaps so.

                                  The big problem with MediaTek is that development suks. No CUSTOM ROMs, Mods, etc.

                                    Guys I don't you understand the how MASSIVE this news is

                                    4nm is TSMC'S premium process... And mediatek is getting elan early slice

                                    Mediatek has taken control of the chip market.. and even if costs mediatek an arm and a leg to pay for it

                                    Why are they so confident about this ?

                                    Chipsets are going to be actually amazing again for the first time in years all because of massive competition

                                      Sounds like a potential Dimensity 1200 replacement to me.
