Rumour for the highly capable SoC from Qualcomm (allegedly called as Snapdragon 818) is still in the middle way to take final shape, meanwhile the biggest contender MediaTek has come out with a new SoC which is able to manage deca-cores conveniently. Yes, you heard correct; MediaTek has finally expanded its Helio lineup by adding a highly efficient X20 deca-core SoC.
This chipset is now ranked world’s first SoC with 10 cores. Helio X20 SoC features four power-efficient Cortex A53 cores, clocked at 1.4GHz, four power-balance Cortex A53 cores, clocked at 2.0GHz, and two Cortex A72 cores, clocked at 2.5GHz.
This is the first time when a processor is bringing tri-cluster CPU architecture and 10 cores. This SoC isn’t only capable in performing fast, but can also manage tasks according to their complexity. It assigns easy tasks to one cluster of cores while complex tasks have been going to other clusters.
New Helio X20 SoC gets Mali T800 series GPU, we cannot say about the exact module right now whikle it comes with 2 x LPDDR3 RAM. It is said to compatible with smartphone and tablet display with refresh rate of 120Hz. As per MediaTek’s dedicated Helio page, "If the smartphone is doing only simple tasks - such as sending text messages or running the calculator - on one cluster, the other clusters can power down, and therefore drive smoother performance and extended battery life."
Well, how efficiently this SoC will work in smartphone is hard to say right now. The result will be reached in our hand when it will give power to a smartphone in future.
