MediaTek has just detailed the Dimensity 8350 SoC that will power the Oppo Reno1, Reno13, and Oppo Pad 3.
Similar to the situation with the 8250 and 8200, the 8350 changes little compared to the existing 8300. The chip is built on the 4nm node and features an octa-core processor with a 3.35GHz Cortex-A715 prime core.
The only difference we found in MediaTek’s content is the new StarSpeed engine for gaming. The older 8300 has HyperEngine in charge of gaming.
The Dimensity 8350’s StarSpeed is credited with a 10% reduction in power consumption (24% at high frame and full frame), a 24% increase in scene transition speed, and less jitter. But MediaTek doesn’t specify whether these improvements are over the 8300 or from a different chip.
The Dimensity 8350 brings the aforementioned four Cortex-A715 cores along with four Cortex-A510 units. The Mali-G615 MC6 is in charge of the graphics. The SoC supports quad-channel LPDDR5X with frequencies 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 180Hz (in FullHD+) or 120Hz (WQHD+). For imaging, there is a limit of 320MP for a single camera or triple 32MP. Video is capped at 4K at 60 frames per second.
Oppo’s trio of newly announced devices have been in doubt over the new chipsets so far.
