With the brand new Dimensity 1050 SoC platform, MediaTek is launching its first 5G processor with an built-in modem that helps mmWave and Sub-6 5G. As a end result, customers will expertise larger common 5G efficiency with probably extraordinary pace spikes if a mmWave base station is in line of sight. In the USA, many are put in in stadiums and different high-traffic venues. In time, their density will improve.

The Sub-6 GHz spectrum enjoys a lot broader community protection, though at decrease speeds than mmWave, however it’s nonetheless quicker than 4G. The Dimensity 1050 can change seamlessly between completely different spectrums relying on community circumstances.

Indoors, this processor helps WiFi 6E and may present quick and low-latency connectivity. If something, many customers’ dwelling web gained’t be quick sufficient to saturate the Dimensity 1050 capabilities. Gamers could be the first beneficiary of WiFi 6E, however the common expertise is effectively above the earlier generations.

From a computing standpoint, it is a chip destined for the mid-range market, with an 8-core CPU (2 efficiency, 6 environment friendly cores) and a Mali G610 MC3 graphics unit that may management a 1080P 144Hz show.

It advantages from some superior imagery {hardware} launched with the Dimensity 9000 however with a smaller efficiency envelope as a result of its measurement, course of node (6nm), and transistor depend. From the specs, it seems to be like MediaTek has tuned it to be aggressive and may seem in mass ranging from Q3 2022.
