MediaTek announced the Dimensity 7100 in December 2025 with little fanfare. It's a mid-range chipset built on a 6nm node and the processor is designed around efficiency. The Infinix Note Edge is the first phone to feature the Dimensity 7100 chipset. So to test its performance, we benchmarked the Dimensity 7100 on Geekbench, AnTuTu, 3DMark, the CPU Throttling Test and more. Now, let's see how it stacks up.
Dimensity 7100: AnTuTu Score
| AnTuTu v11 Benchmark | Score |
|---|---|
| Dimensity 7100 AnTuTu Score | 790,586 |
| CPU | 323,638 |
| GPU | 103,411 |
| Memory | 132,592 |
| UX | 230,945 |
In our testing, the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 scored 790,586 points on the AnTuTu v11 benchmark. That is a decent result for a budget 5G chipset and it scores well above the 700,000-750,000 ballpark.
The 8-core CPU achieves 323,638 points, but the GPU manages only 103,411 points. In effect, the Mali-G610 MC2 GPU is the weakest part of the chipset and it's a recurring theme across every graphics test we ran.

Dimensity 7100: Geekbench Score
| Geekbench CPU | Single-core | Multi-core |
|---|---|---|
| Geekbench 6 | 994 | 2,842 |
| Geekbench 7 | 869 | 3,005 |
Next, the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 scored 994 points in single-core and 2,842 points in multi-core on the Geekbench 6 CPU benchmark. And on the newer Geekbench 7 benchmark, the Dimensity 7100 scored 869 in single-core and 3,005 in multi-core.
In our earlier testing, the Dimensity 7050 managed 952 in single-core and 2,380 in multi-core, which means the Dimensity 7100 is about 4% ahead in single-core and around 19% faster in multi-core. The Dimensity 7100 packs 4x Cortex-A78 cores along with 4x Cortex-A55 efficiency cores.

Dimensity 7100: CPU Throttling Test
| CPU Throttling Test (15 min) | Dimensity 7100 |
|---|---|
| Max performance | 248,322 GIPS |
| Average performance | 237,395 GIPS |
| Minimum performance | 219,020 GIPS |
| Throttling (Higher is better) | 92% |
Now, coming to the CPU Throttling Test, which runs the processor at full capacity for 15 minutes to see how well it sustains performance under continuous load. In this test, the Dimensity 7100 throttled to 92% of its peak performance, which is pretty good.
The chip doesn't throttle under prolonged stress and the credit goes partly to the cooling system inside the Infinix Note Edge. To put it simply, this is a chipset that will work well during a long session of light to moderate work.

Dimensity 7100: 3DMark Score
| 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Stress Test | Dimensity 7100 |
|---|---|
| Best loop score | 695 |
| Lowest loop score | 691 |
| Stability | 99.4% |
And in the demanding 3DMark benchmark, we ran two GPU tests. In the Wild Life Extreme Stress Test, the Dimensity 7100 got a best loop of 695 and never dropped below 691, resulting in a strong 99.4% stability score. While the graphics performance is pretty low, the Mali-G610 MC2 GPU is consistent and doesn't collapse under stress.
| 3DMark Steel Nomad Light | Dimensity 7100 |
|---|---|
| Overall score | 278 |
| Average frame rate | 2.07 FPS |
Next, in the heavier Steel Nomad Light test, the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 scored 278 points at an average frame rate of just 2.07 FPS. It confirms what the AnTuTu GPU number already told us that this is not a gaming chipset. For better gaming performance in the mid-range segment, take a look at Dimensity 7400's performance instead.

Dimensity 7100: Speedometer 3.1 Score
Finally, in Speedometer 3.1, which tests CPU responsiveness in real-world web browsing, the Dimensity 7100 scored 8.66 points. That is a modest score for a budget chip and it puts the Dimensity 7100 a notch behind the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, which scored 8.88. In everyday usage, web pages and apps load fine and scroll smoothly.

Verdict
The Dimensity 7100 is basically an entry-level budget chipset that does slightly better than the Dimensity 7050. Its sustained performance is also good as the CPU holds 92% of peak performance over 15 minutes and web responsiveness is more than good enough for its price bracket. For everyday tasks, social apps and light gaming, it's a decent performer.
That said, the Mali-G610 MC2 GPU is simply too weak for anything serious. All in all, you should pick a Dimensity 7100 phone if you want a efficient daily driver with decent CPU performance.
