After Helio X25 won the title of the weakest flagship SoC again, Zhu Shangzu, COO of MediaTek, exposed some configuration information of the next generation flagship Helio X30 of MediaTek in an interview: Helio X30 will adopt TSMC's 10nm process The GPU needs to be changed from Mali to PowerVR platform (this platform is used for Apple A series processors) The baseband supports 3-carrier aggregation up to Cat.12 All Netcom.

According to anecdotal rumors, the X30 CPU still uses a 10 core architecture and introduces the A35 small core newly released in 2015. However, the A73 core is not available. It is composed of 2 * A72+4 * A53+4 * A35 cores, and the core frequency is soaring collectively, reaching 2.8/2.2/2.0 GHz respectively. It will also eventually support LPDDR4 memory and UFS2.1 standard. The GPU may be a quad core 7XT series, supporting up to 26 million pixel cameras and dual cameras.

However, the 10 core X25/X20 has obvious problems in performance, heat generation and core regulation. "One core has nine difficulties and onlookers" are all noted jokes. In addition, they are just the core of the A53+2.3/2.5G A72 of 1.4G * 4+2.0G * 4. Compared with the X30 rumored ultra-high frequency, it is estimated that the 10nm process is difficult to suppress this enthusiastic CPU. I have to worry about MTK
