MediaTek is working on its first 6nm chipsets and there are at least three different versions, likely future Dimensity models. The middle child, the MT6893, seems to be the one closest to completion and we’ve already seen it trade blows with the Snapdragon 865 in an early Geekbench test.

Now the AnTuTu team has spotted the new chip in its database and the compound benchmark shows the Dimensity actually outperform the outgoing flagship chipset by Qualcomm.


AnTuTu scores: MediaTek MT6893 (6 nm) • Exynos 1080 (5 nm) • Kirin 9000 (5 nm)











It is slightly behind in terms of CPU performance (matching the Geekbench result), but its GPU proved slightly faster. This result is from a development board with 8GB of RAM, 256GB storage and a 90Hz display (1,080 x 2,300 px). The memory score is also a bit higher than the Snapdragon-powered phone used for the comparison (an Oppo Find X2 Pro).


The MT6893 is built around four Cortex-A78 CPU cores – the prime core will run at up to 3.0GHz while the other three are capped at 2.6GHz. There are four A55 cores as well. This is a similar configuration to the Exynos 1080.

For the GPU MediaTek chose a Mali-G77 MC9 while Samsung went for the newer G78 cores. The Dimensity chip is aiming for premium but not quite flagship devices, MediaTek is preparing the MT6895 for that role (the third chip we’ve heard about is the MT6891).

The AnTuTu results are compiled from previous leaks, comparing some of the upcoming chipsets that will be duking it out in the high end market next year. Keep in mind that these are preliminary results, tests with real devices may reshuffle the positions.

With some makers migrating from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800-series to the 700-series due to cost, MediaTek could provide a performant value-for-money alternative. However, it will have competition as Samsung is reportedly talking to Xiaomi and Oppo, which may adopt Exynos for some of their models.
