It’s the same process used in the Dimensity 800, Snapdragon 855/Plus, and Kirin 980. MediaTek Dimensity 820 CPU The Dimensity 820 uses an octa-core CPU based on the similar dual-cluster design (4+4). It consists of 4 x high-performance core which is the Cortex–A76 running @2.6GHz and 4 x energy-efficient Cortex–A55 cores running @2.0GHz. In comparison to Dimensity 800 we can see how the upper cores frequency has increased up to 600MHz. It is almost 37% better than the 800. MediaTek Dimensity 820 GPU Dimensity 820 has ARM Mali-G57 as the GPU. Instead of the regular 4 cores in Dimensity 800, this one has on addition core, bring the number to 5 cores. It is optimized by MediaTek HyperEngine 2.0. MediaTek Dimensity 820 AI Similar to the other Dimensity SoCs, the 820 features the MediaTek APU 3.0. It brings AI features like AI-Recognition (for example, objects, scenes, or people), AI-Super Resolution, and AI-deblur functions. The rumored score on AI-benchmark is 40315 points the same as the Dimensity 1000L processor which also has the same APU.
