Recently, the increasingly ambitious Taiwanese chip manufacturer MediaTek is preparing for the launch of the second generation of its flagship chipsets with 5G support, among which the Dimensity 1200 (alias MT6893) will probably be included with a probability bordering on certainty. Now the news has leaked that the company is preparing a slower clocked version of this chip called Dimensity 1100.
According to the Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station, Dimensity 1100 will use the same hardware as Dimensity 1200, but it will run at lower frequencies. Both chipsets should be manufactured using the 6nm process.
The weaker chip is said to have, just like the Dimensity 1200, four powerful Cortex-A78 processor cores with a frequency of 2,6 GHz and four economical Cortex-A55 cores, clocked at a frequency of 2 GHz. The only difference compared to the Dimensity 1200 would be the speed of the main powerful core - in the Dimensity 1200 it should "tick" at a frequency 400 MHz higher. The leak does not mention the graphics chip, but it can be assumed that it will be Mali-G77 as in a more powerful chip, but with reduced frequencies.
Like the Dimensity 1200, the chip will reportedly support cameras with a resolution of up to 108 MPx, UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR4X type memory.
What performance we can expect from the Dimensity 1100 was already indicated by the second mentioned chip, which beat the Snapdragon 865 chipset in the AnTuTu benchmark. It can therefore be assumed that the Dimensity 1100 will be close to the Snapdragon 855 and 855+ chips in terms of performance.
According to the latest unofficial information, MediaTek is also working on its first 5nm chipset with the working name MediaTek 2000, which should use the yet-unannounced second generation of the super-powerful Cortex-X1 core, which is the main "driving force" of Qualcomm's current flagship chip, the Snapdragon 888. It is said to be on the scene however, it won't launch until next year, while it will introduce the Dimensity 1200 and, apparently, the Dimensity 1100 at its "chip" event tomorrow.
