MediaTek's new 800U chipset

MediaTek has launched a new chipset Dimensity 800U that will provide 5G connectivity to mid-range smartphones. The Dimensity 800U is the latest addition in MediaTek’s Dimensity series family. The 7nm Dimensity 800U chipset is designed for multi-core performance and 5G+5G Dual Sim Dual Standby (DSDS) technology. The chipset manufacturer claims that this chipset will accelerate the rollout of 5G technology on mid-tier 5G smartphones.

The 5G modem in MediaTek’s Dimensity 800U supports sub-6Ghz SA and NSA networks, 5G+5G dual SIM dual standby (DSDS), dual Voice over New Radio (VoNR), and 5G two-carrier aggregation. With MediaTek 5G UltraSave technology, the modem’s operating mode is managed based on network environment and data transmission quality, which the company claims will extend the battery life of mobile devices.

The Dimensity 800U chipset is built on the 7nm process and has an octa-core CPU with a dual cluster consisting of two Arm Cortex-A76 processors with a clock speed of 2.4GHz and six Arm Cortex-A55 processors with a clock speed of 2.0GHz. Dimensity 800U integrates an Arm Mali-G57 GPU, an independent AI processing unit (APU), and LPDDR4x RAM.

The new chipset will support 120Hz FHD+ displays as well as the HDR10+ standard for better visual quality. The chipset will also offer support for flexible camera placement with up to 64MP cameras and quad camera capabilities. Along with that, there will be support for voice on wakeup (VoW) and dual-mic noise reduction technology, which will help to lower the standby power consumption of a voice assistant.

Super-Resolution Imaging

Researchers at Helmholtz Zentrum München and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed the world’s smallest ultrasound detector. It is based on miniaturized photonic circuits on top of a silicon chip. With a size 100 times smaller than an average human hair, the new detector can visualize features that are much smaller than previously possible, leading to what is known as super-resolution imaging. Since the development of medical ultrasound imaging in the 1950s, the core detection technology of ultrasound waves has primarily focused on using piezoelectric detectors, which convert the pressure from ultrasound waves into electric voltage. The imaging resolution achieved with ultrasound depends on the size of the piezoelectric detector employed. Reducing this size leads to higher resolution and can offer smaller, densely packed one or two-dimensional ultrasound arrays with improved ability to discriminate features in the imaged tissue or material. However, further reducing t

Virus in the Blood Can Predict Severe COVID-19

A blood test on hospital admission showing the presence or absence of SARS-CoV-2 can identify patients at a high risk of severe COVID-19. Admitted patients without virus in their blood have a good chance of rapid recovery. This according to researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Danderyd Hospital in a new study published in the scientific journal Clinical Infectious Diseases. Blood samples were taken from patients with a confirmed COVID-19 infection within three days of admission to the Department of Infectious Diseases, Danderyd Hospital, Sweden. Patients with measurable levels of the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in their blood were seven times more likely to develop critical symptoms and eight times more likely to die within 28 days. “This readily available test allows us to identify patient groups at high or low risk of severe COVID-19, which enables us to better guide the treatment and monitoring of these patients”, says the study’s lead author Karl Hagman, infectious diseases co

Monsoon and dehydration: Are you drinking enough water?

Dehydration i s a common complaint during hot and humid weather. This is because humidity can make you feel hotter. That’s why a 320C can feel like 380C if the humidity level is as high as 65%! Importance of hydration – - Our body is made up of 70% water which is concentrated in all our cells. Dehydration strips the cells of water and vital minerals and hence a person feels tired, lethargic, and dizzy. Dehydration during monsoon can happen to anyone of any age. Therefore, it is very important to drink an ample amount of mineral water to replenish the body’s mineral balance and maintain a healthy temperature. - During monsoon, people prefer multiple cups of hot beverages like coffee or tea over plain water and hence they do not realize how little water they have consumed. You may not even realize you are dehydrated until you start feeling giddy or have muscle cramps. Even a 2% decrease in the body’s water weight can lead to problems like forgetfulness, confusion, a
