Highlights of Dimensity 700 MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G Specs Sheet SoCDimensity 1000C Release DateNovember 10, 2020 Process7nm TSMC CPU2 x Arm Cortex-A76 @ 2.2GHz 6 x Arm Cortex-A55 @ 2GHz GPUArm Mali-G57 MC2 (2 cores) @950 MHz NPUAI Accelerator Connectivity5G, 4G DL: 2.77Gbps UL: 1.2Gbps Camera64MP single camera 16MP+16MP dual camera Features: Multi-Frame NR, 3D Noise Reduction, Depth Engine, AI-Camera Enhancements Memory12GB LPDDR4X 2133MHz StorageUFS 2.2 (2 lane) FeaturesMediaTek 5G UltraSave, Multiple Voice Assistants AnTuTu v8250,000 (expected) DisplayFHD+, 90Hz PhonesTBA MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G Process Despite being a mid-end SoC and the least powerful in the Dimensity mid-end SoC (720, 800, 820), Dimensity 700 uses a 7nm LPP FinFET process by TSMC which matches the process of all other Dimensity SoCs including the high-end Dimensity 1000 series. According to the officials, the 7nm process is 28% more efficient than the 8nm process. MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G CPU Dimensity 700 5G uses a dual-cluster, octa-core design (2+6). In details, the configuration is like this: 2 x Cortex A76 high-performance cores @2.2GHz 6 x Cortex A55 power-efficient cores @2.0GHz In comparison to the Dimensity 720, we see that the high-performance Cortex-A76 cores have been decreased from 4 to 2, meanwhile, the frequency has been increased to 2.2GHz (0.2GHz increase). As for the Cortex-A55 cores has been increased from 4 to 6, while the frequency is the same. In short, Dimensity 700 will be: a much better power-efficient 5G SoC in comparison to Dimensity 720 lesser peak or single-core performance than Dimensity 720 MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G GPU Dimensity 700 features a 2 core Arm Mali-G57 MC2 as the GPU running @950MHz. Its bigger brother which is Dimensity 720 also has Mali-G57 but MC3 which is 3 cores. The frequency of Dimensity 720 GPU isn’t announced, but we believe that the Dimensity 700 GPU has more frequency as a compensation for the 1 reduced core, as done in the GPU section. So, one will see a slight decrease in graphical performance in playing games such as PUBG (mid graphics, high frame rate). Sadly, we will be missing another of MTK’s iconic feature which is MediaTek HyperEngine. MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G AI Sadly, Dimensity 700 like Dimensity 720 doesn’t have the iconic APU 3.0 as found in Dimensity 1000 series. Instead, we see an AI accelerator that provides AI capabilities but at a very basic level. The performance of the APU is 3 TOPS. MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G AnTuTu Benchmark Score (Expected) Since Dimensity 700 is a downgraded version of 720 with the decrease performance in GPU and GPU section, we expect MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G AnTuTu (v8) benchmark score to be 250,000 to 280,000 points. Its ancestor Dimesnity 720 has a score of around 300,000 points on Realme V5. Update: Looking at the phones released so far, Dimensity 700 has a wide AnTuTu scoring which varies from phone to phone. The lowest benchmark score is OPPO A55 5G which scores around 250,000 to 280,000 points. The highest score is of the newly released POCO M3 Pro which is 320,000 to 350,000 points. On Realme 8 5G also scores 340,000 to 370,000 points. The reason for this difference is because AnTuTu not only checks CPU performance, but GPU, Memory, and, UX as well. For most of the Dimensity 700 phones, the score is around 270,000 to 310,000 points. Realme 8 5G score on AnTuTu MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G Connectivity MediaTek Dimenity 700 like the rest of Dimensity SoC supports 5G networking with SA & NSA modes. The maximum download speed is 2.77 Gbps while the upload speed is 1.2 Gbps. Features such as 5G Carrier Aggregation (2CC 5G-CA) and 5G dual SIM dual standby (DSDS) are present along with MediaTek 5G UltraSave. This in fact is the most power-efficient 5G SoC. As far as other connectivity options go, we have Bluetooth 5.1 and WiFi 5 ac. MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G Camera MediaTek Dimensity 700 supports single camera support up to 64MP and dual-camera support up to 16MP + 16MP. Apart from the sensor, the SoC provides Night Shot Enhancements for better low light results along with basic AI filters including AI-bokeh, AI-color, and AI-beauty.See alsoWhat Sets iPhone 15 Pro Apart from Standard Version?Syed Asif·March 27, 2023 MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G Other Features Other features of Dimensity 700 include memory support, screen refresh rate, and voice assistants. Dimensity 700 supports LPDDR4x memory with a maximum frequency of 2133MHz similar to Dimensity 720 and UFS 2.2 (2-lane) storage type. The maximum screen refresh rate supported is 90Hz again similar to Dimensity 720. Moreover, multiple voice assistants are supported such as Google, Amazon, Baidu, Tencent, and Alibaba. List of MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G Phones Currently, there’s no Dimensiity 700 5G phone announced or rumored. We expect the next budget-friendly releases from Xiaomi and Realme to feature this SoC next year. MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G Price Since this isn’t Exynos or Kirin, Dimensity 700 will be available on multiple brands smartphones. Such we will be seeing a huge price range where Redmi and Realme will provide the most cost-effective and OPPO and Vivo to be slightly expensive. However, looking at its big brother Realme V5 priced at 211 USD, a Dimensity 700 5G phone will range from as low as 180 USD to as high as 250 USD. Update: As expected, the price of Dimensity 700 phones turn out to be quite budget-friendly with the phones such as Redmi Note 10 5G, Realme 8 5G, and OPPO A55 5G, ranging at a price range of $180 to $250 USD. The Verdict In short, Dimensity 700 is the slightly under-power version of Dimensity 720 with reduced max CPU and GPU performance. However, other highlights remain the same such as 90Hz refresh rate, 2133MHz LPDDR4X RAM support, 7nm process, 5G networking, and 64MP camera support with light enhancement feature. Thus, thanks to Dimensity 700, 5G networking will be available at a more budget-friendly price . This may be the most power-efficient 5G phone as well. Information is taken from (1)
