The new MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chip is now official. Kicking off the Dimensity 7000 lineup, MediaTek says this sub-flagship mobile processor will "amplify gaming and photography smartphone experiences". So let's check out what the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 has to offer including its full specifications, availability, and more.

MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Overview:

Architecture

MediaTek Dimensity 7200 is based on TSMC's second-generation 4nm process, called "N4P". That's the same one used in the company's flagship Dimensity 9200 chip which you can find in phones like Vivo X90 and X90 Pro.Anyway, the Dimensity 7200's octa-core CPU consists entirely of second-gen Armv9 CPUs. This includes two Cortex-A715 cores clocked at up to 2.8 GHz and six Cortex-A510 cores at up to 2.0 GHz. MediaTek has integrated its fifth-gen APU (AI Processing Unit) called "APU 650" in the Dimensity 7200, which handles the efficiency of AI tasks and AI fusion. For graphics, there is Arm Mali-G610 MC4 GPU which supports fast response times and up to 144Hz FHD+ displays.

Made for gamers

According to CH Chen (Deputy General Manager of MediaTek's Wireless Communications Business Unit), “The MediaTek Dimensity 7000 series will be vital for mobile gamers and photography enthusiasts who are looking for an affordable way to squeeze the most battery life out of their phones without skimping on performance.”
