MediaTek has just announced gaming-centric mid-range chipset to compete against its rivals Qualcomm and HiSilicon. MediaTek Helio G90 chipset is aimed to power the mid-range smartphones from various Chinese manufacturers. While Kirin 810 was announced last month. So you might be wondering how it competes with the latest Kirin’s mid-range processor. So here’s an article on MediaTek Helio G90 vs HiSilicon Kirin 810.
HiSilicon Kirin 810 utilizes the same architecture as the Helio G90 but the cores are clocked at a higher frequency which should benefit Kirin 810 to achieve higher performance.
MediaTek Helio G90 vs HiSilicon Kirin 810
| Specifications | Helio G90 | Kirin 810 |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing Process | 12mm | 7mm |
| CPU | 2 x A76 up to 2GHz + 6 x A55 up to 2GHz | 2 x A76 Cores @2.27Ghz 6 x A55 Cores @1.88GHz |
| GPU | Arm Mali-G76 3EEMC4 Up to 720MHz | ARM Mali-G52 MP6 |
| Camera | 24MP+16MP dual, 48MP, 64MP | IVP + ISP |
| NPU | 2x MediaTek APU up to 750MHz | HUAWEI Da Vinci Architecture |
MediaTek Helio G90 Pros and Cons:
The newly launched MediaTek Helio G90 chipset is utilizing the Cortex A76 cores which are also used in the flagship chipset from the Qualcomm. The company is using Mali G76 GPU to boost the gaming performance of the device. The dedicated MediaTek APU should boost the AI performance even further. It supports up to 64MP camera so we may see the Samsung GW1 sensor with the same chipset.
