Last month, we discovered that MediaTek was about to produce a new processor equipped with no less than ten cores, the Helio X20. Today, the soc’s configuration and features have just surfaced on Weibo, all facing those of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810.
- On the same theme: MediaTek will produce its first ten-core processor
MediaTek’s next mobile chip with 10 cores.
As this new document reveals, the MediaTek Helio X20 deca core processor will be equipped with a set of two A72 cores clocked between 2.3 and 2.5 Ghz combined with two sets of four A53 cores clocked at 2 and 1.4 Ghz respectively. Three different clusters between which the different tasks will be divided.
For the graphic part, you will have to rely on a Mali-T880 MP4 GPU clocked at 700 MHz that can support a maximum definition of 2560 x 1600 pixels. In comparison, the Snapdragon 810 has an Adreno 430 GPU clocked at 600 MHz and supporting 4K definition screens or 3840 x 2160 pixels. That said, at the moment, no smartphone is going beyond the Quad HD definition.
On the memory side, the Snapdragon 810 takes the advantage thanks to its compatibility with the RAM LPDDR4 that allows frequencies of up to 1600 MHz where the Helio X20 is still limited to RAM LPDDR3 to 933 MHz. That said, according to MediaTek, this new Soc would be able to reach up to 70,000 points on AnTuTu while the Snapdragon 810 remains below the 60,000 mark, except with the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro on which Xiaomi has performed many optimizations.
Of course, we do not yet know the impact of the next Soc of MediaTek on the autonomy of future smartphones that will be equipped with it. Nevertheless, the fact that it is engraved in 20 nanometers,as indicated by its technical sheet, already suggests that it will not be more economical than Qualcomm’s Soc.
