MediaTek announces Helio G70 and Helio G70T chips for budget gaming smartphones

MediaTek has introduced two new processors called Helio G70 and Helio G70T.

What is known

New items

are stripped down versions of Helio G90 and HelioG90T. The chips are built on the 12nm FinFET process and have eight cores. The productive core is Cortex-A75 (instead of Cortex-A76 in Helio G90T), and the energy-efficient one is Cortex-A55. The Mali-G52 2EEMC2 accelerator is responsible for the graphics in the new SoCs.

Helio G70 and Helio G70T also receivedsupport for multiple cameras with a resolution of up to 48 megapixels, screens with FHD+ resolution, up to 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and proprietary HyperEngine technology. It improves the performance of the chips in games. Support for the fifth generation network was not delivered.

Unfortunately, there is no information on how the Helio G70 differs from the Helio G70T, but most likely we are talking about the overclocked frequency of the video accelerator.

When to expect

Devices with new MediaTek processors should be released this year. The first rumored smartphone could be the Redmi 9.
