While the video doesn’t say much more than “First!,” MediaTek is already developing the world’s first 4nm smartphone chip. One of them is vivo, and one of their phones may have been the first Android smartphone to reach 1 million points in AnTuTu.
MT6983 controls the vivo V2184 phone. According to rumors, this chip is known as Dimensity 2000, and the phone will most likely be a new X model. Both Ice Universe and Digital chat station claimed the same score of 1,002,220. The score hasn’t been verified by AnTuTu yet.
The current powerful Android phone (the Red Magic 6 with a Snapdragon 888) received 858,734 points. Only Apple’s M1-powered iPad Pros have sold more than one million units.
Although the video only makes vague promises about improved performance and battery life, unconfirmed information suggests that MediaTek has won a 4nm agreement with TSMC, unlike Qualcomm and Samsung, which would both use Samsung’s 4nanometers foundries.
The Dimensity 2000 will include a 3.0 GHz Cortex-X2 core, three Cortex-A710 cores, and four A510 cores, according to DCS. The X2 core of the Exynos 2200 is said to run at 3.0 GHz, and a shot of a Snapdragon 898-powered phone showed the X2 core running at that speed. This implies the three chipsets have the same CPU performance but different GPUs: the Dimensity 2000 has an ARM Mali-G710 MC10 GPU, the Exynos 2200 has an AMD RDNA 2 GPU, and the Snapdragon 898 has a new Adreno.
A recent benchmark leak revealed that the vivo will likewise be powered by the Snapdragon 898.
Qualcomm is scheduled to unveil the Snapdragon 898 on November 30th, leaving MediaTek with only a few weeks to unveil the Dimensity 2000. Unless it states “First to Market,” in which case there isn’t much time left.
