MediaTek has generally been considered a runner-up to Qualcomm; while power-wise the Helio X20/X25 MT6797 / MT6797T compete well with Snapdragon 820 and 821, efficiency-wise they are a couple of steps behind, as the MTK X20 / X25 use 20nm process, and Snap 820 / 821 use 14nm process.

Helio P20 / P25 are closer in efficiency with 16nm process, but not as powerful as 820 / 821; where P20 / P25 use Cortex-A53 cores, Snap 820 / 821 use Qualcomm’s powerful Kryo cores.

Enter Helio X30 / MTK6799. The SoC that combines the best of both worlds, with 10nm process that crushes 820 / 821’s 14nm and carries the hugely powerful, new Cortex-A73 cores, and ultra-efficient Cortex-A35 coresĀ for background and low-power tasks.

Power-wise, the Helio X30 MT6799 doesn’t quite match Qualcomm’s latest and greatest 835, but it does a stand-up job.

Take a look at the chart to see how the new Helio X30 stacks up against modern Qualcomm SoC. Note the Helio X30 MT6799 scores are a very limited data set based on the yet unreleased Meizu Pro 7 Plus.
