MediaTek recently introduced what could well be the next SoC to power the next high-end smartphones. With some pretty impressive features, this is the very first quad-clusters chip.

Did you enjoy the performance of the previous Helio X10? are you curious to see what the Helio X20 gives? you will most likely be intrigued by the first information just revealed about this Helio X30.
In line with the X20, the X30 will also be a deca-core chip in other words, it will be equipped with 10 cores, unlike that here they will be divided into four different clusters instead of three, which is a first that will allow even better distribution of the consumption of the chip composed of:
- 2 x Cortex A-53 clocked at 1 GHz
- 2 x Cortex A-53 clocked at 1.5 GHz
- 2 x Cortex A-72 clocked at 2 GHz
- 4 x Cortex A-72 clocked at 2.5 GHz
With the Cortex A-72 processors, all accompanied by a Mali T-880 chip advertised as 1.8 times more powerful than the old Mali T-760, it seems that MediaTek really wants to push the nail and dethrone the Snapdragon. A situation diametrically opposed to just a few months ago, when Qualcomm’s products, now in the panade, sounded like the reference.
Engraved in 16 nanometers thanks to the FinFET process, the chip would be compatible with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM clocked at 1600 MHz. Storage would be compatible with the new eMMC 5.1 standard. In addition, the processor would support 40-megapixel cameras at 24 frames per second, 16 megapixels at 60 frames/second and 8 megapixels at 120 frames per second.
MediaTek also announced a Helio X22. This will consist of an improved version of the Helio X20 since its operating frequencies will have simply benefited from a slightextra boost. No further information has been released, but we can expect to see the Helio X22 and X30 arrive in our terminals by the end of the year.
