The company MediaTek has expanded the range of portfolio, announcing the Helio P65 chipset, which will be used in mid-range smartphones. The new Helio P65 chipset provides twice the performance compared to its predecessor Helio P60.
The Helio P65’s CPU is designed with an eight-core architecture and integrates two ARM Cortex-A75 cores up to 2GHz. The rest is the Cortex-A55 core with a frequency of 1.7GHz. The eight-core cluster shares a large L3 cache. The GPU is ARM Mail-G52, and the overall performance is improved by 25%.
For graphics processing an integrated accelerator ARM Mali G52 is used. The maximum frequency of the graphic unit is 820 MHz.
The processor allows the use of display with a resolution of up to 2520 × 1080 pixels. It can support cameras with a resolution of up to 48 megapixels, as well as dual cameras in a configuration of 16 MP+ 16 MP.
The Helio P65 platform supports LPDDR3 and LPDDR4x RAM, as well as flash drives of the eMMC 5.1 standard.
Among other things, wireless support of Wi-Fi 5 (802.11a / b / g / n / ac) and Bluetooth 5.0, FM radio, satellite navigation systems Beidou, Galileo, GLONASS and GPS, as well as fourth-generation mobile communication LTE Cat -7 DL / Cat-13 UL are supported.
Mass production of the processor Helio P65 has already begun. The first smartphones based on it are likely to debut in the third quarter of this year.
