Nov. 30, 2018The first smartphone powered by MediaTek’s latest chipset,the Helio P70, just made itsdebut earlier this weekbut the company is now teasing the unveiling of its next flagship chipset – the Helio P90. It is expected to be made official at a launch event in Shenzhen, China on December 13.
Though it’stoo soonfor MediaTek to be launching another flagship-grade chipset for mid-range devices, the company has taken to Twitter totease the launch of its upcoming Helio P90 chipset, which it says will be powerful, efficient and feature “groundbreaking AI” applications.
The teaser falls in line withrecent rumorsand sightings of Helio P80’s benchmark scores (which were only a tad bit behind the upcoming Snapdragon 8150 chipset), however, it’s interesting to see the company jump straight to P90 and totally skip the P80 moniker.
TL Lee, MediaTek’s General Manager of Wireless Communication, told91mobilesthat the chip maker is taking a step up in the naming classification to show off thatHelio P90 is not just an iterative upgradeand that it’s significantly better than their Helio P70 SoC that was unveiled earlier in October this year.
