The Dimensity 8300 chipset is equipped with an octa-core CPU with four Arm Cortex-A715 cores and four Cortex-A510 cores built on Arm’s latest v9 CPU architecture. The chipset, which is built on a second-generation 4nm process, claims 20 percent faster CPU performance and 30 percent peak gains in power efficiency compared to the previous versions. It is the first premium-tier chipset to arrive with full generative AI support. To support developers in building applications that leverage large language models (LLMs) as well as stable diffusion, the company has integrated the APU 780 AI processor into the chipset. It can support LLMs with up to 10 billion parameters. As part of power savings enhancements, the chipmaker has also included the next generation of HyperEngine adaptive game technology in the chipset.
“With MediaTek’s optimized Dimensity 8000 series, consumers don’t have to pick and choose between accessibility and premier experiences like flagship-grade memory or accelerated AI capabilities—they can have it all,” said Dr. Yenchi Lee, Deputy General Manager of MediaTek”s Wireless Communications Business Unit, in a statement. The latest chipset also supports ultra-fast speeds with a built-in 3GPP Release-16 standard 5G modem. MediaTek confirmed that the all-new Dimensity 8300 will be included in 5G devices arriving on the global market before the end of 2023. At the same time, the chipmaker has not revealed which smartphone brands will be using this revolutionary chipset in their devices.
