    3 new SoC from MTK Helio P10 vs Helio P20 vs Helio P30 upcoming MediaTek SoC comparison

    MT6757 Helio P20 is set to take.the stage. After the very successful MT6755 Helio P10 has been implemented in a slew of China mobiles, the new Helio P20 takes things to another level with higher CPU and GPU clock speeds. We still expect MT6755 Helio P10 to be used in many upcoming mobiles, and the MTK6755 Helio P20 to begin showing up in slightly higher tier MediaTek devices.

    The specs in the table for P10 P20 are official, while the specs in the Helio P30 and Helio P30T column are based on leaked insider information.

    P10 vs P20

    There is a big jump from Helio P10 vs Helio P20 with the P20 allowing decoding and encoding up to 4kx2k, as well as support for dual-displays.

    P10 vs P20 we see the GPU is a nice bump up from Mali-T860 MP2 to Mali-T880 MP2.

    P10/20 vs P30

    Comparing Helio P10 and P20 vs Helio P30 rumored specs, we see the P30 carries a big.LITTLE configuration with 4-core Cortex-A72. We also see the P30 will have ARM’s new Mimir GPU. Mimir is the codename for ARM’s latest GPU technology.

    Note there is also a Helio P30T. Helio P30 vs P30T gives us 780MHz vs 850MHz respectively for the GPU and 2.0GHz vs 2.2GHz respectively for the Cortex-A72 cores.

    The MT6750 SoC is coming our way.

    Many of us know of Helio P10 aka MTK6755. A few phones which carry MT6755 are Elephone P9000, Ulefone Future, and the Huawei P9.

    Pared down versions of the MTK6755 — the MTK6750 and MTK6755T will be coming our way within the next couple of months.

    They will feature a similar setup as the MTK6755, including an 8-core 4×4 big.LITTLE configuration with Cortex-A53 CPUs.

    The difference is that the higher-clocked CPUs will only be set to a maximum of 1.5GHz as opposed to 2.0GHz with the MT6755 Helio P10. The typical setup of MT6750 will be [email protected] and [email protected].

    These new SoC will support up to 4GB RAM. The GPU will be the same GPU — Mali-T760MP2, but clocked at 350MHz instead of 700MHz as with MT6755.

    On the map: 2015 was the year that really put MTK on the map. Their 64-bit SoCs becoming standard in $150 China brand mobiles, while Qualcomm phones costing twice as much were still floundering at 32-bit. 

    This doesn’t make a huge difference to the end user experience, but just as with “more megapixels is better”, 64-bit spec on a rapsheet adds an aura of impressiveness. (more…)
