They've probably tweaked it to squeeze out some improvement there. The performance wasn't bad and there's Exynos 1080 and SD865/+ if you want more GPU power
I expect they're the same die design, just with the big A78 configured slower with less cache on the 1100 - I guess 3GHz is on the edge of n6 capability so this helps them recover the dies that don't quite make it.
we can't actually compare them to SD 888 as there's still a lot of improvement given the 5nm versus 6nm fabrication. But considering MediaTek's previous portfolio, these 5G chips are definitely advanced with the 6nm technology & cortex A78 cores
Explains why QC keeps its CPU(tries to hide) and GPU(actual blackbox) details to minimum. These SoCs provide more increase than the QC's upgrades(just look at the difference b/w 730,732,765).
These are mediateks flagships, qualcomm claims as much or more increase in their flagships year on year too. Though mediateks midrangers are better, like d820 vs 765g.
MediaTek is probably taking the same approach as AMD with its Ryzen 5000 APUs which focuses on getting the latest CPU out in a shipping product, and leaving the GPU as it is, which won't do as much for app launch times. responsiveness, and battery life. They only had to redo the CPU and move straight to 6nm without a full redesign. I'd prefer this approach to the Snapdragon 870 route, which is kind of like what Nvidia pioneered by relabeling last year's models as something new.

IIRC the GPU was D1000's weak point, a generation later it could only be worse.tkSteveFOX - Wednesday, January 20, 2021 - link

Yeah but theres nothing from mediatek. They dont care i guess.tkSteveFOX - Wednesday, January 20, 2021 - link
A decent refresh, and will be coming to mid-range pricing devices in a few months too.Mikl1984 - Wednesday, January 20, 2021 - link
Did not understand difference in DL speed with the same BW, QAM and MIMO. Why 4600 Mbps became 4700?Andrei Frumusanu - Wednesday, January 20, 2021 - link
Should have been 4700 on the 1000 as well - fixed.psychobriggsy - Wednesday, January 20, 2021 - link

Would be nice if the 1100 and 1200 make it in some phones to us here stateside. QC needs competition, these look promising!SolarBear28 - Wednesday, January 20, 2021 - link
Not quite up to SD 888 performance, but these might have better battery life (no X1 core, smaller GPU, no high frequency 5G) and should cost less.Guru0027 - Friday, January 22, 2021 - link

1100/1200 are the same tapeout, MTK simply disabled half the L2 on the big core then downclocked it.fmcjw - Monday, February 1, 2021 - link

Dimensity 1100 chipset with 6nm fabrication looks so good. Even the Mediatek HyperEngine 3.0 support in the smartphone is really good for the users.
