We compared two 8-core processors: MediaTek Helio G95 (with Mali-G76 3EEMC4 graphics) and Helio G85 (Mali-G52 MP2). Here you will find the pros and cons of each chip, technical specs, and comprehensive tests in benchmarks, like AnTuTu and Geekbench.
On the inside, you get the MediaTek Helio G85 SoC, along with LPDDR4X RAM and eMMC 5.1 storage. The device is also powered by a substantial 5020 mAh battery that supports fast wired charging at 22. This processor is a waste of money my 2 year old phone with SD636 run smooth on games low - medium setting but this helio g85 have constant frame drops on lowest possible setting even opening 2 tab. Mediatek Helio G85 Specification. Mediatek Helio G85 Specification is an Octa-core 2x 2 GHz – Cortex-A75 6x 1.8 GHz – Cortex-A55 made by TSMC 12nm FinFET Process. This is the CPU configuration they used in Helio G80. Same with the Mediatek G85 GPU but 50MHz more frequency than the G80. Mediatek G85 has dedicated Neural Engine. MediaTek Helio G85 Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 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.
- Performs 3.6x better in floating-point computations
- Shows significantly better (up to 54%) AnTuTu 8 score – 300K vs 195K
- Better instruction set architecture
- Higher GPU frequency (~11%)
