MediaTek has long been shunned by OEMs for its lackluster chips. MediaTek chips often found themselves in low-end devices and were primarily used by new market entrants to save a few bucks. Thankfully, things have changed since 2018, when the Taiwan-based manufacturer decided to up its game with a new range of Helio P and G chips. The Helio G90T is the only MediaTek chip to make it to AnTuTu's top mid-rangers two months in a row. It is a formidable SoC that can easily take on an equally-specced Qualcomm counterpart, something that didn't happen for a long time.

MediaTek didn't stop at making mid-range gaming SoCs. The company's Dimensity 1000 SoC is, for all practical purposes, flagship-worthy. Not only does it beat Samsung's 5G offering, but it also does it at a much lower cost. We can expect to see the Dimnesity 1000 in some 2020 flagships and mid-rangers. At CES 2020, the company just unveiled another 5G-ready chip, but this time, it is exclusively for mid-rangers. Dubbed the Dimensity 800, the chip performs on par with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765/765G, and the HiSilicon Kirin 990 5G. Let's take a look at some of its specs.
