MediaTek has just detailed the Dimensity 8350 SoC that will power the Oppo Reno13, Reno13 Pro, and Oppo Pad 3.
As with the 8250 and 8200, the 8350 apparently changes little compared to the existing 8300. The chip is built on a 4nm node and has an octa-core processor with 3.35GHz Cortex-A715 prime cores.
The only difference we could find in MediaTek’s materials is the new StarSpeed Engine for gaming. The old 8300 has the HyperEngine responsible for gaming.
The Dimensity 8350’s StarSpeed is credited with a 10% reduction in power consumption (24% in high frame and full frame), a 24% increase in scene transition speed, and low jitter. But MediaTek doesn’t specify whether these improvements affect the 8300 or another chip.
The Dimensity 8350 brings together the aforementioned four Cortex-A715 cores with four Cortex-A510 units. A Mali-G615 MC6 is responsible for the graphics. The SoC supports Quad-channel LPDDR5X with a frequency of up to 8533Mbps. Storage support is up to UFS 4.0.
There is a multi-core MediaTek NPU 780 for AI tasks, Bluetooth 5.4, 5G and Wi-Fi 6E. The chip supports displays up to 180 Hz (in FullHD+) or 120 Hz (WQHD+). For imaging, there is a limit of 320 MP for a single camera or a triple 32 MP. Video is limited to 4K at 60 frames per second.
Oppo’s newly announced trio of devices now have the new chipset.
