MediaTek has announced a new chipset albeit without any fanfare or publicity. The Helio P95 is the latest member of MediaTek’s Helio P Series.
The Helio P95 is a single-cluster 8-core chipset with 2x Cortex-A75 cores clocked at 2.2GHz and 6x Cortex-A55 clocked at 2.0GHz. There is an Imagination PowerVR GM 94446 GPU with a 10% improvement in performance over the last generation. The chipset also has a large L3 cache.
The processor supports up to 8GB LPDDR4X RAM (1866MHz) and UFS 2.1 storage. With respect to cameras, it supports 64MP sensors or 24MP + 16MP dual cameras, while it supports displays with resolutions of up to 2520 x 1080 with a 21:9 aspect ratio.
The processor has a triple ISP with 14-bit RAW and 10-bit YUV processing. It also has AI-camera enhancements such as AI-NR low-light photography, 5-person human pose tracking, multiple objects and scene identification, and AI depth engine.
The Helio P95 also comes with APU 2.0 (AI Processing Unit) which MediaTek claims achieves a 10% increase in benchmark performance compared to the last generation. MediaTek says this makes it one of the most powerful AI engines available for 4G smartphones.
MediaTek’s HyperEngine brings improvements in gaming and tunes the whole device, so users can experience a fast and smooth gaming experience.
For connectivity, the Helio P95 supports 4G LTE Cat. 12 download speeds, Cat. 13 upload speeds, 4 x 4 MIMO, 256 QAM, ViLTE, VoLTE, Dual 4G VoLTE Dual SIM, Band 71, WiFi 5, and Bluetooth 5.0.
No manufacturer has announced if it will be the first to launch a phone powered by the chipset. MediaTek has also not revealed when we should expect to see it in devices.
