Without prior notice, MediaTek has launched the new Dimensity 1300 processor for mid-range mobiles with 5G. As usual, it is manufactured on TSMC’s 6nm process and uses 8 processing cores . For MediaTek, the main improvements that this chip includes are its Artificial Intelligence performance and HyperEngine 5.0 technology for games. Let’s take a look at its features in depth.
MediaTek Dimensity 1300 5G Specifications
Of its 8 cores, four are “ultra” powerful Cortex-A78 at 3 GHz , three are “super” Cortex-A78 at 2.6 GHz, and the other four are Cortex-A55 clocked at 2 GHz for low-speed tasks. requirement. The graphic it mounts is a Mali-G77 MC9 with 9 cores. If you notice, it is identical to the MediaTek Dimensity 1200. Therefore, its AnTuTu performance should be close to 650000 points.
The only difference seems to be in the HyperEngine 5.0 technology for gaming, which is an improvement over the Dimensity 1200. The Taiwanese company claims that HyperBoost 5.0 has AI-VRS graphics enhancement and supports Hybrid 2.0 (combines WiFi /Bluetooth) and Bluetooth LE Audio technology to give you better quality wireless audio. For the rest, you will not find anything new in its technical file.

A great chip for your next smartphone
The Dimension 1300 supports displays up to 168Hz with a Full HD+ resolution of 2520 x 1080 pixels. In addition, it can work with up to 16 GB of LPDDR4x RAM at a speed of 4266 MHz. In terms of storage, it is compatible with the fastest format for mobile: UFS 3.1.
Its ISP (image signal processor) supports cameras up to 200 MP and can capture video in portrait mode for multiple people or in 4K HDR mode . It also supports hardware-accelerated AV1 decoding for smoother 4K streaming.
At the same time, it includes several interesting extra features such as support for 5G data and call concurrency, ray-tracing in games , support for augmented reality applications, multi-touch boost to increase touch screen responsiveness, and power saving in super hotspot mode.
Which phones will use the MediaTek Dimensity 1300 processor?
The Taiwanese manufacturer has not mentioned which devices will carry the Dimensity 1300 chip. However, there are many rumors that the OnePlus Nord 2T or Nord 3 will be the first smartphone to mount it . Surely, manufacturers such as Xiaomi, OPPO, Realme and now Samsung will also mount it in their future mid-range mobile phones with 5G. We’ll know for sure in the coming months when they start to be announced.
