In the field of mobile processors, there has long been a competition between several manufacturers, with the best-known protagonists being the American Apple, Qualcomm and TSMC, better known in connection with MediaTek processors.
In general, in the case of Android smartphones, it is widely believed that chipsets from the Qualcomm workshop are simply premium and higher quality, and to some extent this is true. MediaTek processors have been relegated to the second track mainly due to their poorer software support and optimization across smartphone manufacturers.
Snapdragon Problems 8 Gen 1
Along with the redesign of the Xiaomi 12 series smartphones, the expected premium chipset also experienced its debut on the world market. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1. It is a flagship processor with 5G network support built on a modern 4-nanometer architecture.
But as time has shown, this new chipset suffers from several ailments, the most serious of which are the relatively large overheating, which goes hand in hand with a reduction in maximum performance. These shortcomings are therefore a good place for MediaTek processors to assert themselves.
The card turns
Only recently, the well-known leakster Ice Universe published an interesting article on the social network Twitter, in which the most modern processors from individual manufacturers are compared. The chipset came with a relatively unexpected and interesting result MediaTek Dimensity 8100.

This chipset beat the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor in the Geekbench benchmark in a multi-core test. 8100.
The flagship MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset then overtook a competitor from the Qualcomm workshop in a multi-core test by almost 1500 pointswhich is a really abysmal difference. So it looks like MediaTek is shining for better times and we are, of course, keeping our fingers crossed for the manufacturer.
