MediaTek chipsets have caught up to the competition through gaming smartphones

OnePlus and Realme are the answer

MediaTek is increasingly being adopted by more and more OEMs as the first choice for performance-oriented gaming smartphones and devices. Smartphones like the Realme GT Neo 3 and OnePlus 10R 5G are thriving examples of how MediaTek’s processing grunt can sit in performance-focused smartphones and deliver without any hiccups. We said that “We rarely came across any lags or stutters…” in our full review of the Realme GT Neo 3 which has the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 sitting in the heart of it.

MediaTek says that the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 is the world’s first 4nm SoC and it packs some real juice when it comes to performance, and an even higher level of customisation for OEMs to tweak the thing to their liking. Smartphone manufacturers can get onboard with MediaTek and customise their software to work in conjunction with MediaTek’s chips. This means cameras, displays, graphics, AI processing units (APUs), sensors and even connectivity sub-systems can be configured around MediaTek’s processing grunt appropriately.

And that’s just the smartphone processor side of things. There’s Wi-Fi 7 and smart devices to put brains into, and even your next 8K tellies will have the MediaTek Pentonic processor for processing, AI smarts and image signal processing.
