Last year saw the smartphone market brimming with devices. I have answered a lot of questions regarding the best processor of 2020 and it is always dependent on the individual when it comes to answering this question. People who love gaming would name a gaming processor, those who are fond of photography will answer accordingly and so it goes. But if there was one chipset that was capable of tackling all of these tasks equally well without compromising it’s performance overall, I think it was definitely the Mediatek Dimensity 1000 plus 5G processor. Till now, I have been inclined towards the Dimensity 1000 plus processor by MediaTek as the most powerful among the lot. The 5G enabled chipset has incredible specs and have been integrated in brand new smartphones like the Realme X7 Pro and the Redmi K30 Ultra.

Till now MediaTek has launched several of its 5G enabled chipsets under the Dimensity series. The Dimensity 1000 being the first one in the series, was followed by the others subsequently like the Dimensity 800, 720, 1000+ etc. MediaTek is pioneering technology in the mobile market at the moment with its efficient chipsets that are powering billions of devices. One of the reasons for this to gain wider popularity is also the fact that it is the first chipset till now to have an integrated MediaTek Helio M70 5G modem which means it has far better speed than any other existing chipsets. The next trigger is its 5G NR (Sub-6GHz) modem that does a lot to enhance download speed. With this chipset, one is sure to get a speed of up to 4.7Gbps. MediaTek started out with Dimensity 1000 and it was the first of its integrated 5G enabled chipsets, combining some of the fastest technology supporting the latest standards and global cellular networks with the best speed.

The Dimensity 1000+ is a more flagship chipset in the series and is a fully integrated chipset that is 7nm in design. The Dimensity 1000+ comes with MediaTek 5G UltraSave technology which enhances the 5G modem with power-saving technologies such as MediaTek 5G UltraSave OTA Content Awareness, MediaTek 5G UltraSave Network Environment Detection, Dynamic BWP, and Connected DRX etc. In terms of CPU specifications, the MediaTek Dimesnity 1000+ has Arm Cortex-A77 clocked up to 2.6GHz and Arm Cortex-A55 clocked up to 2.0GHz. Additionally, the octa-core CPU with powerful cores and hexa-core AI APU 3.0 makes the running lag-free and operations smooth. In terms of GPU performance the Dimesnity 1000 uses Arm Mali-G77 MC9. The Dimensity 1000+ chipset supports dual 5G SIM dual Standby and takes MediaTek’s dual-SIM leadership up with dual 5G SIM technology by providing services such as VoNR. The MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ supports up to 16GB of internal memory with the memory clock speed of 1866MHz and storage type UFS 3.0. In terms of gaming the MediaTek Dimensity 1000 features the in-house MediaTek HyperEngine 2.0 gaming technology which makes sure the CPU, GPU and memory resources are intelligently allocated to ensure optimized power and performance.
