every innovation is a piece that contributes to building the future. And when we talk about the future, we can't ignore the recent announcement of MediaTek concerning his new chipset Dimensions, developed using the technology of TSMC's 3nm process. This news is not only a sign of progress, but represents a turning point in the long and fruitful partnership between MediaTek and TSMC. Let's see the details.
The synergy between MediaTek and TSMC: a winning partnership
MediaTek has recently made it known that it has successfully completed the development of its first chip built on TSMC's 3nm technology. This chipset will be part of the Dimensity series and is expected to go into mass production in 2024. But what does all this mean? In practice, the two companies have combined their experience and their resources to develop a System-on-Chip (SoC) that promises high performance and low power consumption. This is especially relevant in an age where energy efficiency has become a priority, not only for manufacturers but also for end users.

The advantages of 3nm technology
TSMC's 3nm process technology represents a quantum leap in performance and efficiency. Compared to the previous N5 process, the 3nm technology offers a speed increase up to 18% maintaining the same level of energy consumption. Alternatively, it can reduce energy consumption by 32% at the same speed. But there's more: this technology also allows a increased logical density by 60%, which means that future devices will be able to accommodate more features without increasing the chip size.
MediaTek's Dimensity series chipsets are already known for their outstanding performance in various domains, from mobile connectivity to artificial intelligence. With the introduction of the first chipset built with TSMC's 3nm technology, a further leap in quality is expected. This chipset will be able to power a wide range of devices, from smartphones and tablets to smart cars and IoT devices. We expect that initially the top of the range from Xiaomi, realme and Oppo will integrate these processors.
