MediaTek’s two new chipsets: the Helio G90 and the Helio G90T both feature the 12nm manufacturing architecture. Which means you are looking at a chip similar to Huawei’s Kirin or Qualcomm’s SoCs with ARM’s A76 and A55 Cores. The chips are made of a combination of ARM’s A76 and A55 cores with clocking speeds up to 2.05GHz. ✓ MediaTek Helio G90T ✓ Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP) is a more advanced version of big.LITTLE technology. In this setup, a processor can utilize all cores at the same time, or just a single core for low-intensity tasks.
