At the end of last year, MediaTek released the Dimensity 9000 flagship processor, and terminal products are currently being launched one after another. After the holiday, MediaTek also has a blockbuster product that cannot be ignored, that is, the Dimensity 8000 series for the high-end mobile phone market. High-end mobile phones account for a large proportion of the market, which is not only an important market that mobile phone manufacturers focus on, but also a battleground for chip manufacturers. On March 1, MediaTek released the Dimensity 8000 series of light flagships, including the Dimensity 8100 and the Dimensity 8000. At the beginning of the Vientiane update in 2022, major mobile phone manufacturers need a new generation of chips to launch new high-end mobile phones. The release time of the MediaTek Dimensity 8000 series is very accurate, and it is expected to become a "just-needed product" in the high-end market. The power consumption of
chip "kidnapped" the mobile phone industry, and energy efficiency has become just needed.
high-end mobile phone is a market that mobile phone manufacturers can win. According to the statistics of China Merchants Securities , high-end mobile phones of 2500-4000 yuan are still the mainstay supporting the mobile phone market.
At the beginning of 2022, the lack of high-end mobile phone processors has brought some adverse effects to the high-end mobile phone market. At present, most of the high-end mobile phones on the market still use the flagship processors of the previous generation. For example, the current high-end mobile phones will be equipped with the Snapdragon 888 series processors. However, as we all know, the Snapdragon 888 processor is not very good in the energy efficiency ratio of and , especially when it is running at full speed, it generates a lot of heat, so mobile phone manufacturers have to spend a lot of energy to build a cooling system. The thickness has been compromised, and more importantly, the battery life of the mobile phone will also be greatly affected, so consumers are not too concerned about the models equipped with the Snapdragon 888 processor . The high power consumption of the chip "kidnapped" the mobile phone experience. For high-end mobile phones, a brand-new processor is urgently needed to save the market at this price, and the Dimensity 8100 processor was launched to meet the needs and pain points of the market. processor products.
's excellent process and architecture bring excellent energy efficiency ratio. As a high-end processor that focuses on the light flagship market, the Dimensity 8100 processor naturally has excellent performance and energy efficiency ratio. At the media communication conference, MediaTek also announced the performance comparison between the Dimensity 8100 processor and its friends, and then KOL announced the results of the engineering machine equipped with the Dimensity 8100 processor. absolute performance of the device.
can see from the official data provided by MediaTek that compared with competing products of the same level, the Dimensity 8100 processor has a 12% lead in CPU multi-core performance, and in terms of energy efficiency, the Dimensity 8100 has a considerable lead. 44% of super competitive products.
In the data given by KOL, we can see the absolute performance data of the Dimensity 8100 processor, and KOL released a variety of processors for testing. It can be seen that the CPU multi-core performance of the Dimensity 8100 leads the Snapdragon 888, reaching 3801 points.

At the same time, the Dimensity 8100 far surpasses its rivals in terms of energy consumption ratio. For example, in the GPU, the platform power consumption of the Dimensity 8100 in the GFXBench test is 6W, which knocks down the Snapdragon 888 and takes the lead. The Snapdragon 888's range has reached 30%.
In the highest picture quality of the game "Genshin Impact", the average frame rate of the Dimensity 8100 is 58.5, which is significantly ahead of the Snapdragon 888's 41.9, with a difference of nearly 40%.
From this point of view, the competitor of the Dimensity 8100 is the Snapdragon 888 processor, while the Dimensity 8000 is the Snapdragon 870. From the perspective of market products, the product line chart is:
Why is the Dimensity 8100 processor significantly improved in energy consumption compared to the Snapdragon 888 processor? One of the reasons is that the Dimensity 8100 processor is more reasonable in the choice of process and architecture. For example, the mature TSMC 5nm process technology is used, and the mature and stable A78 architecture and core selection are still used.The A55 architecture together forms an 8-core CPU, while the GPU is the Arm Mali G610 MC6 with the latest architecture, and the AI computing unit is the APU 580 with outstanding AI energy efficiency. The architecture of
makes the energy efficiency ratio of MediaTek Dimensity 8100 processor ahead of the competition. In contrast, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor uses a three-cluster architecture, that is, one X1 architecture processor, three A78 architecture processors and four A55 architecture processors, and is based on the Samsung 5nm process to build. According to the existing information, one of the reasons why the Snapdragon 888 processor has such a high energy consumption ratio is that the Samsung process technology used is not very mature compared with the TSMC process. The performance improvement of the core X1 also cannot offset the increase in energy consumption. It can be seen from the actual application performance that the specification of the processor is not the only factor that determines the actual application, but depends on the stability of the processor in a stressful environment. At this point, the performance of the Dimensity 9000/Dimensity 8000 series processors is obviously different from the competition.
Dimensity team helps MediaTek to stand firm in high-end flagship mobile phones
MediaTek has gained a firm foothold in the mid-to-high-end mobile phone market with its Dimensity series processors, Dimensity 1000/1200 processors and Dimensity 900/800 series processors The devices have received a good reputation. However, in the past, MediaTek did not come up with competitive products in the flagship market. With the Dimensity 9000 processor, MediaTek made a hit in the flagship mobile phone market, and with the help of high energy efficiency ratio, users are full of expectations for this processor. The current Dimensity 8000 series also relies on excellent performance to form the Dimensity team with the Dimensity 9000 flagship core to impact the high-end flagship mobile phone market. With the excellent architecture, advanced manufacturing process and global energy efficiency optimization technology and other excellent software and hardware technologies, the MediaTek Dimensity 8000 series processor can be described as a trump card created by MediaTek this year. Under the rapid offensive of the Dimensity team, MediaTek is likely to change the dominant position in the industry and reshape the market structure. Of course, there are good cards in hand that need to be played. For MediaTek, the support of partners is also an important factor in ensuring that MediaTek Dimensity 9000/8000 series processors reach users. Just when MediaTek launched the Dimensity 8000 series processor, Redmi officially announced that the K50 will be the first to launch the Dimensity 8100 processor, while OPPO, realme, and OnePlus also said that they will launch mobile terminals based on the Dimensity 8000 series processor. .
With the endorsement of these mobile phone giants , MediaTek will go faster in the high-end market in the future, and also lay a solid foundation for the research and development of the next generation of Dimensity series processors. It can even be predicted that the Dimensity 8000 series processors will build a wider bridge between MediaTek, partners and consumers, and become a true generation of God U.
