The Mediatek Helio G70 is a mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in 2020. It is manufactured in a 12 nm FinFET process and integrates 8 CPU cores. Two fast ARM Cortex-A75 cores with up to 2 GHz for performance tasks and six small ARM Cortex-A55 with up to 1.7 GHz for efficiency. All eight cores can be used together thanks to Heterogeneous Multi-Processing support. The integrated GPU is a ARM Mali-G52 MC2 (MP2) with two clusters at up to 820 MHz. The SoC also integrates the HyperEngine that handles a dynamic management of CPU, GPU and memory.
Compared to the slightly faster Helio G80, the difference to the G70 is the slightly lower clock speed for the A55 cores (-100 MHz) and GPU (-130 MHz).
The SoC integrates furthermore a LTE radio with Cat-7 (download) / Cat-13 (upload) support, Wifi 5 (ac), Bluetooth 5.0, LPDDR4x 1800 MHz and eMMC 5.1 storage.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 (SDM636) is a mid-range octa-core SoC with eight custom Kryo 260 cores at up to 1.8 GHz, an Adreno 509 GPU, a LPDDR4-2666 memory controller (1333 MHz) and a X12 LTE (Cat 12/13, 300 Mbps down, 150 Mbps up) modem. Furthermore, the chip supports 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0. It is manufactured in 14nm FinFet. Qualcomm states a 40% faster performance compared to the old Snapdragon 630 (8x ARM Cortex-A53).
The Mediatek Helio P90 is an upper mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in 2019. It is manufactured in a 12 nm FinFET (12FFC) process and is equipped with 2x big ARM Cortex-A75 cores (2.2 GHz max.) and 6x small and power efficient ARM Cortex-A55 cores (2 GHz max.) in two clusters (bigLITTLE). The processor also integrates a Cat-12 (600 Mbps DL) / Cat-13 (150 Mbps UL) LTE Modem (4G), a PowerVR GM 9446 GPU, and ISP for 64 MP photos and 4K videorecording, and a AI Processing Unit with a theoretical performance of 1165 Giga-Multiply-Adds per second. The memory controller on the die supports dual-channel LPDDR4x-1866 (8 GB max.) and flash memory can be connected by UFS 2.1.
The CPU performance should be slightly below a Snapdragon 730 (e.g. in the Reno2 Z in our benchmarks) and therefore in the upper middle-class of 2019 smartphones.
