There are indications that chipmaker, MediaTek plans to release its first 6nm G-series chip by the third quarter of the year. Inside sources say that the company plans to release the new chip based on the highly advanced 6nm manufacturing process to replace the Helio G96, which in itself, is a quite popular chipset.
Although, we are still in the realm of speculation as there is no official confirmation yet on the upcoming MediaTek chips, what we know at this time is that the chip is currently only referred to as Next-G and employs the same CPU configuration as the Helio G96. The Helio G96 is produced through the 12nm process which presents several restrictions, some of which have been overcome with the 6nm improved process. The new G-series 6nm chip will have two Cortex-A76 cores running above 2.0 GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores powering at 2.0 GHz.
As per the performance capabilities of the new MediaTek chip, it is capable of handling cameras with resolutions up to 108MP, 2K video recording at 30fps, and a few other metrics similar to the latest G96 iteration. That may be true, as there are indications that the very first MediaTek 6nm chip will not support 5G network connectivity. Chinese phone maker, Doogee has also been mentioned as one of the first brands to debut the Next-G chip. For now, we await further details from official quarters on the product.
