New mid-range Dimensity 700 and 800 chipsets may use an older 10/12nm process

MediaTek unveiled its first 6nm chipsets, the Dimensity 1200 and 1100, for high end phones. Next-generation chips for mid-rangers are on the way too, reports DigiTimes, which will slot into the Dimensity 800 and 700 lines. These will use a more mature node from TSMC, 10nm or 12nm. The focus with these chips will be on power efficiency, sub-6 5G connectivity plus multimedia and gaming performance. We’ll see how that pans out as even the base Dimensity 700 is fabbed on TSMC’s 7 nm node (N7). MediaTek uses TSMC’s 1 nm node for the likes of the Helio G-series, including the budget...
