Earlier this month, MediaTek announced the Dimensity 8000 series chipsets for high-end midrange 5G smartphones, including the Dimensity 8100 SoC. The chipset’s paper specs mean that it should technically offer inferior performance to the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but benchmark tests didn’t. In recent Geekbench benchmark tests, the Dimensity 8100 chipset was able to beat the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 with multi-core performance.
Reputable Chinese Tarekomi Digital chat station Recently, I shared some screenshots and introduced the Geekbench 5 scores for the Dimensity 8100, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, and Snapdragon 888 chipsets. All three tests were performed using Realme devices and the results are very interesting.

Dimensity 8100 running inside a Realme device with model number RMX3562 (probably Realme GT Neo 3) was able to cancel. 965 single-core score and 4071 multi-core score.. The Dimensity 8100 (965) single-core score was lower than the SD 8 Gen 1 (1273) single-core score, but the former was able to outperform the 3809 multi-core score of Snapdragon’s latest flagship chipset.
Given the fact that it’s amazing the The Dimensity 8100 chipset is built using TSMC’s 5nm architecture... The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, on the other hand, was created using the foundry’s 4nm process. For those who don’t know, the lower the process node, the better the performance and power efficiency. Moreover, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC features ARM Cortex-X1 Major coreThe purpose is to improve performance.
Comparing the Dimensity 8100 chipset with last year’s Snapdragon 888, The Snapdragon chipset couldn’t exceed the multi-core score of MediaTek’s product.. However, the Dimensity 8100 SoC was lost in the single core division. It is worth mentioning that these benchmark tests do not determine actual performance. Once smartphones with the latest MediaTek chips are on the market, let’s see how they actually work.
That said, it’s still impressive that mid-range chipsets were able to outperform high-end chipsets in the performance sector. It also shows how MediaTek is accelerating and can beat Qualcomm, the leader for some time.Recently, a report by IDC also showed how to do that. MediaTek outperformed Qualcomm in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2021...
In the comments below, please tell us your thoughts on the fact that the Dimensity 8100 with the 5nm architecture was able to beat the 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 in terms of performance. On the other hand, a detailed comparison between the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 and the Dimensity 9000 chipset can be found at this link.
