Chinese benchmarking outfit Master Lu has now released the list of best mobile chipsets in terms of AI performance for the first half of 2019. The list of combined processors for Q1 2019 was topped by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset, followed by the Snapdragon Apple A12 and the Kirin 980 chipset from Huawei.
As is expected, we’ve got the Snapdragon 855 in the lead, followed by Apple’s excellent A12 chip. Then, we’ve got the MediaTek Helio P90. Yes, you heard that right, MediaTek has managed to get the Helio P90 up there, and it’s apparently a pretty great performer when it comes to AI performance.
According to Master Lu, while the Helio P90 isn’t exactly the most powerful chip around, the AI performance on it is above most other competitors. With this, it has managed to officially knock Huawei‘s Hisilicon Kirin 980 off the third spot in AI ranking. This is a pretty big achievement for MediaTek, beating the king of AI itself.
The rest of the list is pretty much just Snapdragon chips. You can see the top 10 above, and it’s pretty much exactly as you’d expect it to go. The only big surprise is the Helio P90, but it’s definitely one of the biggest surprises that could’ve happened. We can expect to see other benchmarks from the outfit soon.
