MediaTek unveils Helio G70 chipset for entry-level gaming phones

14 January 2020
The Mali-G52 GPU is no match for the G72 used in the Helio G90, so this chip targets phones costing $150 or so.

    Alex 94, 14 Jan 2020This is next chipset for redmi 9. It's great and can handle... moreIt is true that SNAPDRAGON processors are starting to drop in the market shares due to competition from Mediatek processors.. we are yet to see how long that will last. As for now, Mediatek Helio series is killing it when it comes to high performance at a mid range price

      Alex 94, 14 Jan 2020This is next chipset for redmi 9. It's great and can handle... morelol no way dimensity 1000 will be for mid range phone, it's for flagship and we dont know if dimensity can compete with SD 865 or Kirin 990. The only info we know is it's "better" than SD 765G (I never trust company benchmark anyway, just taking it with grain and salt)

          This chipset is for entry-level gaming phones. Can the cost be less than 10k for these Mediatek chipsets?

              Galactic, 15 Jan 2020It has 2 cores, just like Helio P65The Mali G522EEMC4 is basically a new way of saying G52MP4. It performs on par with G72MP3 (sometimes slightly better). There are two cores with 2 execution engines per core, thus making it equivalent to MP4 in old naming scheme.

                Electrol Ogy, 14 Jan 2020He is helio p65, but his name has been changed And It is ... moreNot better, it still lags in camera chops compared to P70. CPU and GPU performance is between P60 and P70 (close to P70).

                  gg, 15 Jan 2020Tesla supports coreboot now, but is MediaTek still in the ... moreYeah, they still, no matter what people say that they release their code, OEMs code isn't the same that the Mediatek's Code.

                      Tesla supports coreboot now, but is MediaTek still in the dark ages when comes to open source ?

                        Anonymous, 14 Jan 2020I compared them both but didn't find any difference. perhap... moreYes,you're right. Perhaps we aren't going to see an 150$ phone with ancient and slower octa-core A53 cpu anymore

                          So are we ever going to see any of these budget gaming phones outside of China?
                          I'd personally buy a G90 or G70 GT handset just for gaming as I'd rather use a dedicated phone for games and calls separate.

                              AnonD-754814, 14 Jan 2020I'm afraid this one(g70) might have only 2 core.It has 2 cores, just like Helio P65

                                  Galactic, 14 Jan 2020So, Helio G70=Helio P65?Yep, the G70 is basically the P65 in a nutshell. I dunno what's the point of re-releasing nearly identical hardware with a completely different market segmentation. Prove us wrong, MediaTek.

                                    Unpopular opinion but they should keep the phones that release with this chipset

                                    At 720p max screen resolution for best graphics performance

                                    Make it IPS too because 720p ipS and 1080p pentile oled are virtually equal in sharpness

                                      And It is better than helio p70 in everything
