Dimensity 1300 or Dimensity 8000?
In this regard, the forthcoming Redmi Note 12 will feature a MediaTek high-performance processor, not the Dimensity 8100. That’s why there is every reason to think that under the hood of this handset, we will find either the MediaTek Dimensity 1300 or the MediaTek Dimensity 8000 chips.
If so, it would be quite useful to get acquainted with the key parameters of these two. For instance, the Dimensity 1300 uses TSMC’s 6nm process node. The octa-core CPU contains 4 Cortex-A78 cores, of which 1 Cortex-A78 is a super core with a basic frequency of up to 3.0GHz. Apart from this, there are 4 Cortex A55 cores with a basic frequency of 2.0GHz. Lastly, this SoC integrates the ARM Mali-G77 MC9 graphics card.
As for the Dimensity 8000, it is assumed to be the reduced frequency version of the Dimensity 8100. It uses TSMC’s 5nm process and consists of four Cortex A78 large cores + four Cortex A55 small cores clocked at 2.85GHz.
Other than that, the Redmi Note 12 will come with a stylish look and a long battery life. These three are believed to be three highlights of the upcoming mid-ranger.
The machine is likely to debut around May so that to go on sale in June-July.
