With the launch of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9, I wrote a scathing comparison of the new MediaTek Helio G85 with its pitiful 50Mhz difference in GPU frequencies compared to the existing, unimpressive, Helio G80. If we ignore my belief that the MediaTek Helio G85 is just a marketing stunt by announcing a brand-new chipset…
[Updated] I originally reported that the G85 was identical to the G80. This was wrong. The G85 has a slightly tweaked GPU going up to 1000MHz (a 50MHz increase). Mediatek has launched yet another chipset which will feature in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9. It is starting to feel like they just come up with…
Synthetic benchmarks are not the best indicator of true to life performance at the best of times. MediaTek is the latest company to fall foul of the rules by coding a sports mode into the firmware files that assign a boost to the phone’s performance when it detects many popular benchmarks. They are not the…
MediaTek has launched a lot of chipsets recently, some of which look set to shake up the mobile chipset market, while others look like a waste of time with old chipsets being rebadged as new ones with minor tweaks. This year, the Dimensity 1000 and Dimensity 1000L are definitely two of the chipsets to keep…
MediaTek recently announced their latest mid-range chipset, the Helio P95, and this has then been used for the latest Oppo Reno3 Pro 4G. In my previous comparison of the P95 vs the older P90 and the other recently launched MediaTek chipsets the Helio G80 & Helio G70, I highlighted that it was a bit of…
After announcing a bunch of amazing sounding chipsets that put them toe to toe with high-end system on chips from Qualcomm and Samsung, Mediatek appears to have run out of ideas. While the first phone with the Mediatek Dimensity 1000L (Reno3) has been launched, we are yet to see anyone integrate the full fat Dimensity…
It is unlikely you will have ever heard of Unisoc, the company is relatively new since being rebranded from Spreadtrum Communications, Inc and is a fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Shanghai producing chipsets form mobiles and IoT devices. They predominantly focus on the Chinese market as well as developing markets, the same could have been…
The MediaTek Dimensity 1000L is a very odd chipset when you look at its specification, it is not a mid-range chipset. It is basically a slightly cut down version of the flagship Dimensity 1000 adopting the same 4x Cortex-A77 & 4xCortex-A55 design as the full-fat version. The only noticeable difference on the spec sheet is…
MediaTek has been on a roll for the last 6-months or so. It started at the end of July with the launch of the Helio G90 series which was then featured in the massively popular Redmi Note 8 Pro. Benchmarks indicated this was as good, if not better than the Snapdragon 730G. In recent months…
An entry-level gaming orientated chipset seems to be a contradiction in terms, but recently MediaTek unveiled the Helio G70, which is technically the same as the Helio P65 previously released. Realme will be the first company to use this chipset with the Realme C3 which is set to arrive on the 6th of February, launching…
Meditek has been on a roll with their chipset launches recently, the company launched the MediaTek Helio G90 last year which comfortably took on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730, beating it in many benchmarks. Then the launch of the MediaTek Dimensity 1000 promised to be the companies first big push into the flagship chipset space in years,…
In 2020 we will have three mid-range 5G chipsets to choose from and quarrel about which is best. Qualcomm has long been the dominant chipset company for premium phones, but now Mediatek has upped their game. We have already seen the Helio G90T trade blows with, if not best, the Snaprdadron 730G. 2020 will see…
