A chipset is responsible for the smartphone’s performance which makes it a prominent component of the device. Still, there are a limited number of chipmakers that compete with each other. The two main manufacturers are Qualcomm and MediaTek. In recent news, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 898 SoC is said to be on the way while MediaTek’s Dimensity 2000 is also making headlines.
Gone are the days when MediaTek chipsets were used only in entry-level and budget phones. With the launch of Dimensity 1200, the brand has gained new heights and powered plenty of mid-range and flagship-like smartphones. Thus, this has been able to nip at the heels of the Snapdragon counterpart and gobble up a portion of the market, which would otherwise be gone to Qualcomm.
MediaTek Dimensity 2000 Expected Specs
The recent piece of information suggests MediaTek’s upcoming Dimnesity 2000 to be based on the world’s first 4nm process developed by TSMC. A chipset built on the TSMC process is believed more powerful and dominant than Samsung and Qualcomm SoCs. Thus, Dimensity 2000 is widely expected to be the upper-hand similar processor in the league.
