Mediatek Helio P90 - Flagship grade Midrange processor !!

MediaTek Helio P90 - Best Midrange Processor !!

When it comes to Mediatek processors, they were not as good as they are today because when we talk about MediaTek a few years ago, they were not best at what they have been doing, because when it comes to chip-making, Qualcomm has always been the king because earlier, MediaTek had to fix some of the issues in their mobile phone processors because everybody had faced common issues in almost every MediaTek processor like heating and unresponsiveness.

But talking about today, the extent at which MediaTek have improved is commendable and one of the best examples of that is MediaTek's Helio P90 processor which was launched by MediaTek in China.

Now, let's talk about the specifications and features of the processor.

Specifications - 

When it comes to specifications, Helio P90 is powered by an octa-core processor which is based on 12nm architecture and consists of Cortex-A75 processor with two cores clocked at 2.2Ghz and Cortex-A55 processor with six cores clocked at 2.0Ghz. This processor includes PowerVR 9946 GPU for handling the graphics-intensive tasks And also MediaTek has focused a lot on AI

and the processor includes APU 2.0 chip based on fusion architecture technology for handling the AI tasks such as scene recognition, and AR avatars etc. and has 4 times more processing power than previous generation P chipsets Also, this chip includes a triple image processing unit which will support features like video calling stabilization in real time. Other specifications and features include -

1. This processor can support phones with up to 8GB [1866Mhz LPDDR4x] memory
2. Display resolution of up to Full-HD+ 
3. Single camera up to 48-megapixels and dual camera support up to 24-megapixels + 16-megapixels.
4. Connectivity features like advanced Cat 12/13 4G LTE modem with 4x4 MIMO, 3CA, 256QAM, dual 4G SIM.

This chip is very capable in terms of AI and comes with all the advanced features like 5 person human pose tracking, 3d pose tracking, and AR/MR acceleration. Also, AI helps a lot in low light photography with enhanced noise reduction. But the most surprising fact is that Helio P90 being a midrange processor has benchmark scores with almost similar as of Snapdragon 845 which is a flagship-grade processor by Snapdragon. So, if numbers are to be believed Helio P90 is almost equal to Snapdragon 845. If this would be the pace with which midrange processors like Helio P90 would improve then in no time, midrange processors would be as capable as flagship processors. This is a new benchmark set by MediaTek in terms of processor.
