Mediatek has officially announced its latest Helio P series SoC – the Mediatek Helio P60 at the MWC 2018 in Barcelona. The new mid-range mobile processor is touted as the first SoC platform to feature a multi-core AI processing unit (mobile APU) and MediaTek’s NeuroPilot AI technology.
Built using TSMC’s new 12nm FinFET technology, the Mediatek Helio P60 SoC features 2.0GHz 4x ARM Cortex-A73 cores and 2.0GHz 4x ARM Cortex-A53 cores in an octa-core big.LITTLE configuration. It promises to deliver up to 70% CPU performance boost and 70% GPU performance enhancement over the Helio P23 and Helio P30.
The chipset is up to 12% more efficient overall and up to 25% more power efficient in highly demanding games than previous generation Helio P series, Helio P23. It has Mediatek’s CorePilot 4.0 technology, with thermal management, user experience monitoring and Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS).
The Helio P60’s three ISPs power efficiency by using 18% ess power for dual-camera set-ups. When the camera tech is combined with the Mobile APU, users can enjoy AI-infused experiences in apps with real-time beautification, novel, real-time overlays, AR/MR acceleration, real-time video previews and more.
Mediatek’s NeuroPilot AI technology works seamlessly across CPU, GPU and Mobile APU within the SoC to maximize performance and energy efficiency. It also packs a 4G LTE WorldMode modem, dual 4G VoLTE and TAS 2.0 smart antenna technology.
Smartphones with the Mediatek Helio P60 will start arriving globally in early Q2 2018.
