The eternal fight goes on and on, but with fewer problems for users. Any user who is planning to change their mobile in 2023 can be calm about the processor. If it is a high-end, everything points to the fact that it should not matter too much if the mobile you buy has a Qualcomm or a MediaTek . The latter has just presented the MediaTek Dimensity 9200 , its commitment to the high-end market in 2023 . We already have all the information and we can predict something: it is a beast.
During the last few years, and since the Dimensity series has been on the market, the competition between Qualcomm and MediaTek has skyrocketed. Its chips are becoming more and more similar, so the user must eat less head to know which one to choose.
MediaTek Dimensity 9200: more performance and better efficiency
MediaTek has made the new Dimensity 9200 official. This is the company’s flagship processor, which replaces the Dimensity 9000. The new chip will be in charge of empowering the high-end processors of 2023 that choose MediaTek and not Qualcomm.
It is early to say if one is better than another, mainly because Qualcomm will present the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 on November 15 . Of course, the list of MediaTek features allows us to predict that they will be able to compete with few differences. This is what the Dimensity 9200 offers:
- 1 ARM Cortex-X3 @ 3.05GHz
- 3 Cortex-A715 @ 2.85GHz
- 4 Cortex-A510 @ 1.80GHz
- GPU Arm Immortalis-G715
- 25% more efficient CPU
- 12% more powerful CPU
- 41% more efficient GPU
- 32% more powerful GPU
- Compatible with FHD+ displays up to 240Hz and 5K panels at 60Hz
- 8533Mbps LPDDRX5 RAM
- 35% increase in AI performance
- mmWave and sub-6 5G support
- Future compatibility with WiFi 7
- 24-bit/192 KHz audio (first chip to have it)
- UFS 4.0 storage (first chip to have it)
If you do not know this type of characteristics very well, you should simply know that it improves everything on the previous model and that they offer one of the best combinations for the high range. The mmWave support could make more manufacturers opt for this chip in territories where this support is vital and that MediaTek has so far neglected.
Absolute record in AnTuTu: 1,260,000 points
MediaTek has passed its new Dimensity 9200 through AnTuTu to obtain a reference of how things will be in 2023. The chip has achieved a score of about 1,260,000 points . To give you an idea, current high-end smartphones exceed a million points with difficulties, something that in 2023 will be history.
It is possible that this processor will catch the attention of many manufacturers by 2023, which is good news. If the smartphone you were going to buy has this Dimensity 9200 and not the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, it is not something that should concern you. Both chips will deliver a high-end experience to the extreme.
