MediaTek Dimensity 8050
MediaTek's 6 nm upper-mid-range 5G chip pairs one 3.0 GHz Cortex-A78 core, three 2.6 GHz A78 cores and four A55 cores with a Mali-G77 MC9 GPU. Announced in May 2023, it launched in phones such as the Tecno Camon 20 Premier 5G, Infinix GT 10 Pro and Tecno Phantom V Flip 5G.
Pros
- One Cortex-A78 prime core at up to 3.0 GHz plus three A78 cores at up to 2.6 GHz
- Nine-core Mali-G77 GPU scored about 1,300 in 3DMark Wild Life Extreme in review testing
- Supports FHD+ displays up to 168 Hz, 4K60 HDR10+ video capture and cameras up to 200MP
- Integrated Release-16 5G modem with up to 4.7 Gbps peak download, plus Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2
- Supports UFS 3.1 storage and up to 16GB of LPDDR4X memory
Cons
- CPU and GPU layout is essentially the same as the older Dimensity 1300 rather than a new design
- Multi-core Geekbench 6 of about 3,400 in review testing sits well below flagship chips of the same period
- Uses LPDDR4X memory (up to 4266 Mbps) rather than faster LPDDR5
