Today, we are comparing this chip to the Dimensity 1200 chipset, which is MediaTek’s most used flagship killer chipset.
Official Info
| General Specifications | Dimensity 1080 | Dimensity 1200 |
|---|---|---|
| Model No | — | MT6893 |
| Availability | October 2022 | January 2021 |
| Class | Mid-range | Flagship |
| 1st Phone | None | Oppo Realme GT Neo |
TheDimensity 1080 chipset is the latest mid-range chipset which is not available to any smartphone at present. while the Dimensity 1200 5G chipset has been used in many devices with a price range of 21K to 50K.
CPU comparison
| CPU Info | Dimensity 1080 | Dimensity 1200 |
|---|---|---|
| architecture | 2x Cortex A78 2.6Ghz 6x Cortex A55 2Ghz | 1x Cortex A78 3GHz 3x Cortex A78 2.6Ghz 4x Cortex A55 2Ghz |
| core cluster | 2+6 | 1+3+4 |
| process | 6nm | 6nm |
| instruction Set | Arm-v8.4-A | ARM-v8.2-A |
| GPU | Mali G68 MC4 | Mali-G77 MC9 |
| GPU frequency | 950MHz | 886MHz |
| TDP | — | 10W |
the DImensity 1200 was a flagship chip of its time. there’s no comparison of it with the all new Dimensity 1080.
Memory Support
