Yesterday, MediaTek unveiled the Helio G90 and Helio G90T chipsets. The Helio G90 was quickly spotted on AnTuTu database with a score that places it above the Snapdragon 730 in terms of performance but below the Kirin 810. The G90 has again appeared on GeekBench reaffirming the superiority of the premium mid-range chipset over Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 730. The chipset was spotted onboard a device with model number alps k85v1_64. This is similar to the device we saw on AnTuTu benchmark earlier on.

The GeekBench score which was uploaded on April 15 shows the device having a multi-core performance of 7193 points. This is better than the Snapdragon 730 but since then, there might have been some optimization which might make the score even higher than that. The single-core performance stands at 2410 points.

The Helio G90 series is built on the 12nm FinFET node design. They are both octa-core processors with a combination of Arm’s Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55 cores. They come with a clock speed of up to 2.05GHz and a large L3 cache. There is also an Arm Mali-G76 3EEMC4 GPU clocked at up to 800MHz with support for a maximum display resolution of 2520 x 1080 pixels. The SoC supports up to 10GB of LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.1 storage.

The duo indeed comes with good prospect considering the fact that they will be cheaper than Qualcomm’s SoC and as it stands, they offer better performances. Xiaomi has already indicated that it would be releasing Redmi smartphones packing the new G90T chipset in India soon.
