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.

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.

In the past, MediaTek wouldn’t release new Android kernels until a new SoC was released, leaving many users who wanted the latest and greatest to flop and flounder through half-baked, bug-riddled ROMs.
MTK seems to have seen the error of their ways and have now made official kernels available to manufacturers.
Here we have the list of already released or soon to be released MediaTek mobiles with Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
