Outside of Redmi and Poco other OEMs like Oneplus, Samsung should consider using this chip.
But, that's unlikely.

Outside of Redmi and Poco other OEMs like Oneplus, Samsung should consider using this chip.
But, that's unlikely.
I hope we get custom ROMs eventually with these chipsets. It's still pretty dire right now.
The naming convention of Dimensity chips are confusing, and this article doesn't help at all on that.
Maybe read this instead for much better context:
https://www.gsmarena.com/mediatek_dimensity_8400_now_official_with_all_big_core_cpu_a_first_for_its_segment-news-65843.php
The 8400 is not a new flagship, but the new upper midrange.
Dimensity 8000 series has always been upper midrange Dimensity series. 9000 series is top end flagship.
I don't see the ambiguity.
I was thinking about linking the GSMarena article but that hardly mentions the things like efficiency, etc.
True, but the problem is the article doesn't say which CPU it replaces. And it can be hard to remember the naming schemes of all the different makers.
It's so highly specked it looked almost like a flagship, but the 4nm confused me.
Pretty bad IMO that the article doesn't even mention the name of the CPU they compare it to.
Redmi and Poco are Xiaomi phones.
Ah yes I can never quite distinguish between redmi and realme.
I changed my comment because the article dosn't really provide context. And I mixed up the CPU lines.
Is mediatek going to enter the PC arena with snapdragon elite/X equivalent SOCs?
I wish I had a source but AFAIK it was planned, but MediaTek might be reconsidering, since Qualcomm's X Elites haven't exactly sold very well. Adoption is too slow.
I wish they put out Mini ITX boards or NUCs. I'd love to mess around with these SoCs in Linux.
Since they won against arm, now they should sell better, they don't risk to become bricks anymore
I might be behind on the Tech News, but did Qualcomm really win the license dispute with ARM that quickly? Over the Nuvia/Oryon IP?
Not sure we can trust ARM anymore, it looks like they play the phone game only without competing against Intel+amd+nvidia
