The maximum frequency that the high-performance A73 cluster can reach is 2.1 GHz. It has an 8-core CPU with two clusters of Cortex-A73 cores and Cortex-A53 cores. Compared to the specification of Helio P60, the only difference is the clock speeds of both the CPU & the GPU.

Here is the specification table of MediaTek Helio P70.

The AI performance of this chip is impressive and matches some of the flagship grade SOCs.īefore we go into the details, let’s have a look the pros. Just like the Helio P60, it is fabricated using the TSMC’s 12nm Fabrication Technology. In fact, it is one of the best midrange processors at present times. I’m not at all saying that Helio P70 is not a good chip. I am only criticizing the Mediatek’s naming scheme that could deceive general consumers. So, by looking at the naming scheme, a normal consumer will feel that it is a big performance jump from Helio P60 to P70. Well, even if they wanted to launch a SOC with those minor performance gains, they should have named it something like Helio P63 or maybe Helio P65. They should have launched the Helio P70 with some major improvements instead. I don’t think that there was any need for Helio P70 in the first place. There’s another new feature known as the Response Time Enhancement Technology which optimizes latency and response times. These slightly higher frequencies will result in a performance boost of 5-10% but nothing as significant as a die shrink or using a better CPU or GPU architecture.
