MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ announced for future mid-range smartphones

12 July 2023
The first devices powered by it will become available by the end of September.

Wait was this even a new chip? It just looks like a rebrand of the Dimensity 700?

Same cores, same frequencies, same GPU, same everything, but they claim it's now 6nm? Idk if I believe it's "6nm." Well I mean it obviously wasn't even 7nm before, these manufacturers always lie about node sizes, but I doubt it's even a different node.

    Anonymous, 12 Jul 2023How could it be? The 7 plus gen 2 is faster than all 8000 s... moreThat's why I said it's "not in par", bcuz it has significant difference between both of the chipset. You might just not catch what I mean, as you might think that I'm saying 7+ Gen 2 is far worse, while in reality I'm saying that it's far better.

Using ROMS is possible on select mediatek devices and you are not necessarily locked into just 1-2 updates (Nord 3 will get 3 OS upgrades). It's all dependant on brands and price.

          Anonymous, 12 Jul 2023As usual snapdragon fans always diss other chip set nakersI am not specifically a fan of any of the chips. I have had only the most low end mediatek chip once in my phone i got for 90 euro. As when i buy a phone it needs to be bang for a buck to get the best out of what is offered for my limit of budget. My last phone was SD636 cause it was best you can get for up to 200 euro. Now i have SD 7+ Gen 2 with poco F5 cause it's best you can get for around 400 euro. If the F5 would of come with Dimensity 8200 and had the 3.5mm jack and the price be on that point i would of got the dimesity 8200

          Why people like Snapdragon over Mediatek is probably cause on some brands you can install custom rom on phones that have snapdragon while you cant with mediatek chips so your locked in that brand update schedule that can be 1-2 updates only

            Anonymous, 12 Jul 2023Bionic is better than Snapdragon, by farIn what way Bionic is better then Snapdragon ? Snapdragon you get on basically every brand in the market while Bionic is only for IOS and for there specific devices only that are optimized specifically for these devices only and specifically for IOS.

            Basically it's totally it's own thing that cant even step in to any competition to comparing anything

            There is basically no motherboard for testing chips where you leave all the specs as is on motherboard and only change change the chip either bionic to snapdragon or mediatek and so on that is built just for testing and the software is just limited for testing to see what chip perform the best. Even all the SD 8+ gen 1 show different benchmark scores on different devices under different brands.

              hmm, 12 Jul 2023Not so much only this 8+ gen 1 to a bit down graded as 7 ge... moreSnapdragon 695 has 6x 1.8GHz Kryo 660 Silver some website has written wrong about it. 4 gen 1 has 700MHz gpu slightly weaker than 695 has 840MHz

                The whole market is a convoluted mess.
                Hypothetically, if I was the OEM of let's say Samsung, here's how I would've gone about it. Let's start off with 2017 Standards:

                Samsung Exynos 00, ~0W, 12nm, Mali-G52 x1, 0+0+1, Cortex A55
                Samsung Exynos 10, ~1W, 12nm, Mali-G52 x2, 0+0+2, Cortex A55
                Samsung Exynos 20, ~2W, 12nm, Mali-G52 x4, 0+0+8, Cortex A55
                Samsung Exynos 30, ~3W, 12nm, Mali-G72 x6, 0+1+7, Cortex A55+A75
                Samsung Exynos 40, ~4W, 12nm, Mali-G72 x9, 0+2+6, Cortex A55+A75
                Samsung Exynos 50, ~5W, 12nm, Mali-G72 x12, 0+3+5, Cortex A55+A75
                Samsung Exynos 60, ~6W, 12nm, Mali-G72 x15, 0+4+4, Cortex A55+A75
                Samsung Exynos 70, ~7W, 12nm, Mali-G72 x18, 1+5+2, Cortex A55+A75+M3
                Samsung Noxsey 10, ~10W, 12nm, Mali-G72 x21, 2+6+0, Cortex A75+M3
                Samsung Noxsey 20, ~13W, 12nm, Mali-G72 x24, 3+5+0, Cortex A75+M3
                Samsung Noxsey 30, ~16W, 12nm, Mali-G72 x27, 4+4+0, Cortex A75+M3
                Samsung Noxsey 40, ~19W, 12nm, Mali-G72 x30, 5+3+0, Cortex A75+M3
                Samsung Noxsey 50, ~22W, 12nm, Mali-G72 x30, 6+2+0, Cortex A75+M3
                Samsung Noxsey 60, ~25W, 12nm, Mali-G72 x32, 7+1+0, Cortex A75+M3
                Samsung Noxsey 70, ~35W, 12nm, Mali-G72 x32, 8+0+0, Samsung M3

                Then next year (and years) I would upgrade the lineup, using better lithography (10nm, 8nm, 6nm, 4nm), newer core technology (Cortex A76, A77, A78), and optimising the graphics (G57/G77, G68/G78, G510/G710) co-processors. And the nomenclature would also be updated along side the changes. So you would be able to compare chips like so:

                Watts - Year 2017 - 2018 - 2019, etc etc SoC Generation and Nomenclature
                ~~1W: Exynos 20, E21, E22, E23, E24... ... (for 2in / watches, wearables)
                ~~4W: Exynos 40, E41, E42, E43, E44... ... (for 5in / phones, small gadgets)
                ~~5W: Exynos 70, E71, E72, E73, E74... ... (for 7in / phablets, small tablets)
                ~~7W: Noxsey 10, N11, N12, N13, N14... ... (for 9in / large tablets)
                ~10W: Noxsey 20, N21, N22, N23, N24... ... (for 11in / ultrabooks)
                ~15W: Noxsey 40, N41, N42, N43, N44... ... (for 14in / laptops)
                ~25W: Noxsey 60, N61, N62, N63, N64... ... (for 17in / thick laptops)
                ~45W: Noxsey 70, N71, N72, N73, N74... ... (for 29in / All-in-One office pc)
                ~95W: Noxsey 90, N91, N92, N93, N94... ... (for Mini PC, Desktops with strong cooling)

                        Anonymous, 12 Jul 2023Bionic is better than Snapdragon, by farBionic isn't better than both 8 Gen 2 and Dimensity 9200...

                        So called CPU advantage is based on Geekbench...Geekbench tests 8 Gen 2 and 9200 with Arm V8 instructions when both are Arm V9.
                        No problem with Bionic as it lacks V9 support.

                        Bionic lacks lpddr5x support...memory bandwidth is more than 30% better on 8 Gen 2/D9200

                        Apple's GPU isn't as powerfull as both Adreno and Immortalis G715 on OpenGL
                        Apple's GPU lacks Ray-tracing support

                        Apple's VPU lacks AV1 support
