The Taiwanese chipmaker, MediaTek launched its 5G chip called Dimensity 1000+ back in May 2020 which is a high-end chip competing with Snapdragon’s 800 series chips. MediaTek gave up on high-end chips a while back when it started to focus just on the mid-range and low-range segment but this changes with the Dimensity Series.
“Dimensity 1000+ showcases an incredible, flagship-grade user experience for smartphone users globally. The single chip integrates in a suite of world-leading innovations in 5G connectivity and power-efficiency, plus unique display, video and gaming technologies that make it stand out” said Dr. Yenchi Lee, Assistant General Manager of MediaTek’s Wireless Communications Business Unit, during the launch.
