one、foreword：First Dimensity 1200! The new king of cost-effective flagship is born
last year，MediaTek launches flagship Dimensity 1000+，not only affordable，Relying on the performance of ranking among the first echelons，Unique dual card dual 5G standby，And perfect 5G frequency band support and other features，Without any suspense, it won the throne of the most cost-effective flagship SOC last year。
therefore，many people are looking forward to，What kind of answers will MediaTek deliver in the new year?。Dimensity 1200，As MediaTek's 2021 flagship debut，Not only comes with TSMC's 6nm process，It is the return of the three-cluster architecture in MediaTek。
at this point in time，Several flagships based on advanced technology performed below expectations，Snapdragon 888 is frequently accused of "overturning"，No successor to Kirin 9000，This time MediaTek also got the best chance to catch up with the top SOC in all aspects。
331st of the month，With the announcement of realme GT Neo，Dimensity 1200 also debuted in the world。We finally get a glimpse of how this flagship SoC will perform。
certainly，In addition to the first Dimensity 1200，realme GT Neo also has many highlights，For example, it supports 50W fast charging、Rear 6400W triple camera，With 120Hz AMOLED direct screen，NFC support，Has a 179g thin and light body and a 3.5mm audio interface, etc.。
The key is，on top of these configurations，The 12+256 version of realme GT Neo can be purchased for only 2299CNY，Just like its advertised flagship goalkeeper，It definitely has the potential to become the most cost-effective flagship of the new generation。
next，Let us have a good experience of realme GT Neo，Let's see how the Dimensity 1200 has improved，Does the flagship goalkeeper live up to its name?。
two、Exterior：Both AMOLED direct screen + 3.5mm interface! trendy back design
realme GT Neo adopts a straight screen design with a hole in the upper left corner，The screen material is Samsung Super AMOLED，With a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and a touch sampling rate of 360Hz。Dig a hole in the upper left corner，Contains a 22-megapixel wide-angle portrait lens，Works great for selfies。2-in-1 top microphone and speaker，can use the least amount of space，Realize the audio-visual effect of dual speakers。
Eye-catching design on the back，in material，realme GT Neo makes a matte plastic design，The contrast ribbon adopts PC injection molding and film sticking process，Both match，The back of the realme GT Neo has one of the best aesthetics among cost-effective flagships。
realme GT Neo rear triple camera，The main camera is Sony IMX 682，Has 64 million pixels，Full imaging resolution。The secondary cameras are a 12-megapixel wide-angle and a 2-megapixel macro，Provide additional scenes for taking pictures。
interface，On both sides are the old power button + volume button。top and bottom，In addition to the speaker opening、Type-C interface、outside the microphone opening，It is worth noting that realme GT Neo retains the 3.5mm audio interface，Can be used without a converter interface。
realme GT Neo supports up to 50W flash charging，But the gift is a 65W super flash charger，This is commendable，Compatible with many devices of the same series。
three、Dimensity 1200：MediaTek's 6nm blessing returns to the three-cluster architecture
Compared with Dimensity 1000 and Dimensity 1000+，The Dimensity 1200 launched by MediaTek in 2021 has two main changes。One is to adopt the latest TSMC 6nm process，Guaranteed production capacity while ensuring that the energy consumption ratio has been improved；The second is to return to the three-cluster architecture，Can further enhance the adaptability to different loads。
——The first TSMC 6nm process
Although many mainstream chips have come to the 5nm process this year，But TSMC's 5nm supply is in short supply，And Samsung's 5nm underperformance，Both of these issues make the 5nm process an unrealistic choice。
so this year，MediaTek compromises slightly，Dimensity 1200 uses the latest TSMC 6nm EUV process，While ensuring sufficient production capacity，There is also a certain improvement in the energy efficiency ratio。
According to data from TSMC，Under the same performance conditions，6The nm EUV process can reduce power consumption by 8% compared with 7nm，Compared with the 7nm process, the transistor density has increased by 18%，performance will be similarly improved。
Although compared with TSMC's mass-produced 5nm EUV, it is slightly inferior in performance and power consumption.，but not much difference，More cost-effective，And don't worry about yield。
——Back to the three-cluster architecture
as early as last year，Whether it is Snapdragon 865、Kirin 990 started to adopt a new three-cluster architecture，That is, a super large core + large core + small core mode，To cope with tasks of different load levels。
In fact, as early as 2016，MediaTek launched the Helio X20 ten-core SOC mobile processor，And tried the three-cluster architecture for the first time。But at the time，Because such a design is too advanced，As a result, very large cores are often useless，And the heat of the whole core is also high。
But now，With more advanced manufacturing process and better AI scheduling，Three-cluster architecture is back on the stage。The Dimensity 1200 uses a three-cluster design with 1 high-frequency A78 large core + 3 medium-frequency A78 medium cores + 4 A55 small cores，The overall configuration is similar to the previous generation Snapdragon 865，But the introduction of the new A88 architecture，So in terms of performance, we can expect it to be comparable to or even surpass last year's Snapdragon 865。
In addition to the two highlights of the three-cluster architecture and 6nm，The APU of Dimensity 1200 has also been greatly improved，With more powerful camera performance，Dimensity 1200 can achieve up to 200 million pixel camera，，And use the algorithm to optimize，in noise reduction、exposure、Improved object tracking and more。It can be said，This photoshoot，It will no longer be the shortcoming of Dimensity 1200。Video aspect，It supports AV1 encoding as well as advanced frame-by-frame 4K HDR technology。
