I only have to read „octa-core CPU with Cortex-A53 cores„ to know that it is bad.

    Athull, 23 May 2018Flagship? Lol it's single core performance ain't even on pa... moreSure, P serie is Snapdragon 6xx serie competitor.
    P60 uses a better AI (close to Apple A11 one) but only bluetooth 4.2.

    But GPU us better than 636's...framerates are better even on OpenGL benchmarks, on Vulkan, it's near 660...and probably better with Tesselation effect.

    Gsmarena, about P60/660 versions of Oppo R15 doesn't notice difference in real games

      helio p22 gpu is powervr ge8320..

        Still no words on the GPU? I bet it's a dual core G71/G72 since the P23 uses dual core G71 and the P60 with tri-core G72. It should be in the middle of the both. Or it will use a mere single core GPU?

Lol it's single core performance ain't even on par with 2016 Qualcomm and Exynos flagships and it's GPU can't even match a SD 636. It just appeared in Oppo Realme 1 which costs only $130. That's by definition a mid-range chip...

            If they mean in the lower end mid range, then yes it is true.

                Get your facts right! We were already told that Helio P60 is built on 12nm so how comes now you say this P22 will be the first one?

                  Maybe Xiaomi will use this if their SD625 SoCs are out of stock. :)

                    Doesnt seem much. Mediocre chipset. Low price midrange I hope. Better be as good as SD630.

                      AnonD-468012, 23 May 2018Wow wow underestimateWait. You can underestimate a MediaTek chip?!?

                        So this is competing with the SnapDragon 625 which was released about 2 years ago??
                        Then this is better since it's more energy efficient at 12nm and has some AI thing to boast.

                        Xiaomi could've used this one instead of the 625 again and again this year.
                        Now I feel like I've made the worst decision by picking up the Redmi 5 Plus so early instead of waiting a few more weeks for the Redmi Note 5 Pro, which is just a few bucks more but is considerably superior in performance and camera (two of which are my priorities).

                          MediaTek and Helio , help us to get rid of QualComm Monopoly with so high prices. Let the prices of phone sink. Thank You.

                                  Outdated on launch. That's what I'm talking about. Keep it up MT. I might just buy one phone with your SoC one day to teach people what is a particularly bad phone. So good job your sales are about to skyrocket

                                        Nothing impresive for the range, more in the poor side. What could be interesting is.......... when they are going to release the source code of their SoC? Those from P60, X30 etc? In the next millennium? Since then no thanks.
