Performance: CPU and GPU
The Dimensity 7200 chipset is an 8-core processing chipset (2 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores). It has two Arm-Cortex-A715 performance cores and six Arm-Cortex-A510 efficiency cores. The performance cores have a speed of 2.80GHz while the efficiency cores have a speed of 2.0GHz.
The chipset also features the ARM Mali-G610 MC4 GPU and which is paired with HyperEngine 5.0. HyperEngine 5.0 is MediaTeks gaming technology that helps process graphics and allows the GPU to work better. My experience using the iQOO Neo 7 SE confirms that the HyperEngine tech from MediaTek does a petty decent job.
