MediaTek Dimensity 8350 announced - not much different than 8300

MediaTek just detailed the Dimensity 8350 SoC that will power the Oppo Reno13, Reno13 and Oppo Pad 3.

Similar to the 8250 and 8200 situation, the 8350 seemingly changes little compared to the existing 8300. The chip is fabbed on a 4nm node and has an eight-core processor with 3.35GHz Cortex-A715 prime cores.

The only difference we could find in MediaTek's materials is the new StarSpeed Engine for gaming. The old 8300 has the HyperEngine in charge of gaming.

The Dimensity 8350's StarSpeed is credited with a 10% reduction in power consumption (24% in high frame and full frame), a 24% increase in scene transition speed, and low jitter. But MediaTek doesn't specify whether these improvements are over the 8300 or a different chip.

The Dimensity 8350 brings the aforementioned four Cortex-A715 cores alongside four Cortex-A510 units. A Mali-G615 MC6 is in charge of graphics. The SoC supports Quad-channel LPDDR5X with a frequency of up to 8533Mbps. Storage support is up to UFS 4.0.

There's a multi-core MediaTek NPU 780 for AI tasks, Bluetooth 5.4, 5G, and Wi-Fi 6E. The chip supports displays up to 180Hz (in FullHD+) or 120Hz (WQHD+). For imaging, there's a 320MP limit for a single camera or a triple 32MP. Video is capped at 4K at 60 frames per second.

Oppo's newly announced trio of devices has dibs on the new chipset as of now.
