MediaTek unveils Dimensity 700, a 7nm chipset with 5G modem
1 min readMediaTek continues its quest to create affordable 5G smartphones – the latest step in that direction is the Dimensity 700, a 7nm chipset similar to the recently-announced Dimensity 720.
The most important component is the 5G modem. It supports carrier aggregation which enables faster connections (up to 2.77 Gbps downlink speeds) and seamless handover between 5G cells. The modem also features Dual SIM, Dual Standby and VoNR (“Voice over New Radio” offers better audio quality than previous generations).
The modem also boasts global 5G NR band support and MediaTek’s “5G UltraSave” power saving technology.
The CPU of the Dimensity 700 is made up of two Cortex-A76 cores running at 2.2 GHz (slightly faster than 720’s big CPU) and six Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0 GHz. The chip can be connected to up to 12 GB of LPDDR4x RAM (2,133 MHz) and UFS 2.2 two-lane storage (up to 1 GB/s transfer speeds).
The new chip can drive 1080p+ displays with 90Hz refresh rate, though its GPU is an ARM Mali-G57 MC2, down from the G57 MC3 found inside the 720. Check out the table below for a more detailed comparison between the two chipsets.
