MediaTek on Tuesday introduced a new member to the Dimensity SoC family, the Dimensity 800U, to accelerate the rollout of the next-generation 5G technology and enhance smartphone experiences with advanced connectivity features and multi-core high performance.

The Dimensity 800U is an octa-core chipset built on the 7nm process and consists of a two Arm Cortex-A76 cores with a clock speed of 2.4GHz and six Arm Cortex-A55 cores with a clock speed of 2.0GHz. The chipset features Arm Mali-G57 GPU, an independent AI processing unit (APU), LPDDR4x RAM, and next-gen UFS 2.2-class storage.

In addition to supporting sub-6Ghz SA and NSA networks, the 5G modem in MediaTek's Dimensity 800U SoC also supports 5G+5G dual SIM dual standby (DSDS), dual Voice over New Radio (VoNR), and 5G two carrier aggregation (2CC 5G-CA). For enabling extended battery life of mobile devices, there is a MediaTek 5G UltraSave technology that helps manage the modem's operating mode based on the network environment and data transmission quality.

MediaTek's Dimensity 800U brings cutting-edge, next-gen technology to the Dimensity SoC series, bringing MediaTek's advanced 5G, imaging and multimedia technologies to high-performance 5G smartphones that deliver incredible 5G experiences
