MediaTek Dimensity 7060: Benchmarks, Phones, and Prices

The MediaTek Dimensity 7060 is an eight-core mid-range platform announced in May 2025. It's built on TSMC's 6 nm process and aimed at affordable 5G phones: devices using it sell for roughly $115 in India up to $210 in the US and Europe.

Here's the short version: the Dimensity 7060 isn't a performance upgrade over the Dimensity 7025 - it's the same silicon moved into a lower price bracket. The core configuration is identical, the big cluster gained 100 MHz, and the graphics are unchanged. Benchmark differences run to a few percent, in both directions. The value is elsewhere: phones with this chip start where the Dimensity 6080 and Helio G99 used to sit.

CPU architecture and process

• 2× Cortex-A78 up to 2.6 GHz
• 6× Cortex-A55 up to 2.0 GHz
• ARMv8.2-A, 64-bit
• 6 nm, TSMC
• MediaTek APU 550 NPU

The two A78 cores handle app launches and game scenes; the six A55 cores take care of background services, messaging, and the browser. The Dimensity 7025 uses the same layout, just at 2.5 GHz.

Graphics

The Dimensity 7060 uses Imagination graphics rather than Mali:

• IMG BXM-8-256
• Around 950 MHz
• 8 compute units, 128 shader modules
• About 0.24 TFLOPS
• OpenCL 3.0, Vulkan 1.3
• Maximum display resolution 2520 × 1080

This is the same GPU at the same clock as the Dimensity 7025 - roughly comparable to a Mali-G68 in chips of this class. Popular online games run fine at medium settings in FHD+, but there isn't enough headroom for a locked 60 fps at maximum settings.

Memory and storage

• LPDDR4X and LPDDR5, up to 3200 MHz
• 2× 16-bit bus
• UFS 2.1/2.2 and UFS 3.0/3.1 storage

Maximum RAM is 16 GB, counting the virtual memory a phone maker adds on top.

The bus width is a mess across spec databases. They list a 2× 16-bit bus alongside 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth, and those two numbers can't both be right: a 32-bit bus on LPDDR5-6400 works out to about 25.6 GB/s. The combination that holds up is 4× 16-bit and 51.2 GB/s - exactly what the Dimensity 7025 uses with the same memory controller - which makes "2× 16" look like an error that spread from one database to the next.

The specific phone matters more than the chip here. The Lava Storm Play pairs it with LPDDR5 and UFS 3.1 at around $115, while the Moto G56 runs LPDDR4X and UFS 2.2.

Cameras, video, and connectivity

• Sensors up to 200 MP
• Video up to 2K (1440p) at 30 fps, H.264 and H.265 codecs, hardware VP9 decoding
• 5G sub-6 GHz, LTE Cat. 18, up to 2770 Mbps
• Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6 on paper
• Dual SIM, carrier aggregation, VoLTE and VoWiFi (carrier and firmware dependent)
• GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, NavIC

Video recording deserves its own note, because databases disagree on it - several credit the chip with 4K at 30 fps. Shipping devices don't back that up. The highest any Dimensity 7060 phone manages is 1440p at 30 fps on the Lava Blaze AMOLED 2, and the Moto G56 caps out at 1080p at 30/60 fps. The Dimensity 7025, which uses the same ISP, is officially rated for 2K30. So don't count on 4K: the platform tops out at 2K (1440p) at 30 fps.

The second caveat concerns wireless. Wi-Fi 6 is supported at the platform level, but the Moto G56 ships with an 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac module - Wi-Fi 5 - and the Lava Blaze AMOLED 2 does the same. Bluetooth shows up as either 5.2 or 5.3 depending on the phone; the Moto G56 uses 5.3.

Image processing runs through an Imagiq-family ISP, with support for multiple cameras, pixel binning modes, and hardware-accelerated HDR. How much of that is actually exposed depends on each phone's firmware.

Benchmark results

• Geekbench 6: 999 single-core, 2389 multi-core
• AnTuTu 10: 480,699
• AnTuTu 11: roughly 694,000 (user results on the Moto G56 range from 645,000 to 712,000)
• 3DMark: about 1908 points

Don't mix up the AnTuTu versions: the chip scores around 480,000 in version 10 and around 694,000 in version 11. Figures like "665,000" or "700,000" that show up on phone spec pages are AnTuTu 11 results, not anomalously high scores.

The AnTuTu 11 breakdown shows exactly where the weakness is: 280,455 for CPU, 140,542 for memory, 218,737 for UX - and only 54,244 for GPU. In 3DMark the gap to the Dimensity 7025 is 1908 versus 1895, which is noise: the two chips share the same graphics, and it's noticeably weaker than what Qualcomm offers in this bracket. Spec databases rate the platform's gaming capability at roughly 7 out of 100.

Chip comparison

What that adds up to:

• Dimensity 7025 - effectively the same chip. It's actually ahead in both single-core and multi-core, while the 7060 claws back 2% in AnTuTu. The detailed 7025 vs. Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 comparison tells the same story.
• Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 - clearly stronger wherever all cores and the GPU are loaded: 15% ahead in multi-core, 14% in AnTuTu, on a 4 nm process. Its weak points are UFS 2.2 and slower memory.
• Dimensity 6300 - the one chip the 7060 beats convincingly: 21% in single-core and 17% in AnTuTu. When two phones cost the same, the choice is obvious.

If you want a real step up rather than a new model number, look at the Dimensity 7300 and above.

Heat, throttling, and battery life

There are no public throttling measurements for the Dimensity 7060 yet - no CPU Throttling Test or 3DMark Wild Life Stress Test numbers to point to. Indirect evidence suggests overheating isn't an issue: the sustained power limit is rated at 4 W, and Moto G56 reviews describe thermal management as solid under prolonged load. The limitation here isn't thermal; it's how weak the graphics are to begin with.

Battery life, on the other hand, has been measured. In ViserMark testing, the Moto G56 and its 5,200 mAh battery delivered 39 hours of active use, or about a day and a half of normal usage. For context: the Samsung Galaxy A26 managed 35 hours, the mid-tier average is 46 hours, and the Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro hit 55 hours. The phone's overall battery score was 40 out of 100 against a segment average of 44.5.

In other words, the endurance comes mostly from battery capacity rather than from how efficient the chip and firmware are together: annual energy consumption for the Moto G56 was measured at 4.3 kWh versus a segment average of 3.59 kWh. A full charge at 30 W takes about 1 hour 47 minutes, with 50% reached in just under 40 minutes.

Phones with the Dimensity 7060, and what they cost

Prices are in US dollars as of September 2026, for the memory configuration in the second column. For India and Europe these are conversions from local pricing at current rates, so treat them as a reference point rather than a store price.

For reference, here's what phones on neighboring chips cost:

The pricing takeaway: in India the Dimensity 7060 really does deliver more for the money - the Lava Storm Play at $115 is faster than the Redmi 15C at $140. Globally the gap narrows, since the Moto G56 at $179 to $210 competes with phones running quicker Snapdragon silicon.

Who it's for

It's a good fit if you want:

• a smooth interface and solid multitasking under $200;
• 5G and a current version of Android without paying extra;
• games at medium settings;
• good battery life from the 6 nm process and six efficiency cores.

Look elsewhere if you need a locked 60 fps in demanding games, 4K video recording, or guaranteed Wi-Fi 6.

FAQ

Is the Dimensity 7060 a good processor? For the price, yes: about 480,000 in AnTuTu 10 and 999/2389 in Geekbench 6 puts it solidly mid-range. For gaming at high settings, no.

How is the Dimensity 7060 different from the 7025? Almost not at all, apart from the big cores running at 2.6 GHz instead of 2.5 GHz. The graphics, memory controller, and video capabilities (2K30) are the same. The 7025 is actually ahead in Geekbench 6 multi-core, and the 3DMark gap of 1908 to 1895 is within the margin of error.

Can the Dimensity 7060 handle demanding games? At medium settings in FHD+, yes - around 30 to 40 fps in popular online titles. Don't expect a locked 60 fps at maximum settings: graphics are the chip's weakest point, at just 54,244 GPU points in AnTuTu 11 and around 1908 in 3DMark.

How long does a Dimensity 7060 phone last on a charge? In ViserMark testing, the Moto G56 with its 5,200 mAh battery managed 39 hours of active use, or roughly a day and a half. That's below the segment average of 46 hours.

Which phones use the Dimensity 7060? The Motorola Moto G56 5G (the first phone with the chip, May 2025), the Lava Storm Play, and the Lava Blaze AMOLED 2.

What process node is the Dimensity 7060 built on? 6 nm, manufactured by TSMC.
