MediaTek has silently unveiled a new mid-range chipset, the Dimensity 7360. It's an octa-core processor that mostly resembles the firm's existing Dimensity 7300.
The Dimensity 7360 features 4x Cortex-A78 cores operating at 2.5GHz, alongside 4x Cortex-A55 efficiency cores. While most of the other specifications remain the same, the improvements are in the optimisation department.
The Dimensity 7360 features Adaptive Gaming Technology 3.0, promising smoother frame rates while optimising the performance for longer battery life. With this, MediaTek claims its new mid-range chip can deliver 20% better frame rates and efficiency than its rivals.
Besides MediaTek's claims about the SoC being an improvement without much context of its existing chipsets, the Dimensity 7360 seems pretty much a rebranded Dimensity 7300. Therefore, we don't expect it to perform drastically better than the Dimensity 7300. For those unaware, Dimensity 7300 powers the likes of CMF Phone 2 Pro and Vivo T4x.
The Dimensity 7360 features the same Imagiq 950 ISP, supporting up to 200 MP cameras, which the firm claims can deliver 50% better dynamic range. It boasts the same 6th-generation NPU 655, Arm Mali-G615 MC2 GPU and the same connectivity features like Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4 and the same R16 5G modem.
Phones powered by the Dimensity 7360 should land soon in market, and it will power mid-range devices. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into the benchmarks and specifications of the chipset as devices powered by the same appear in the market.
