Mediatek Unveils The Octa Core Helio P10 Chipset Based On Tsmc S 28Nm Hpc Fabrication Process

MediaTek today announced its new Helio chipset — the P10. The octa-core chipset comes with comes Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2GHz and a dual-core Mali-T860 GPU. It is the first chipset from MediaTek to be based on TSMC’s 28nm HPC+ fabrication process that allows for reduced power consumption. MediaTek boasts that the fabrication process along with “numerous architecture and circuit design optimisation” help the Helio P10 in saving up to 30% more power compared to existing chipsets that are based on the 28nm HPC process. Other feature of the P10 include LTE Cat-6 support with carrier aggregation, TrueBright ISP engine, MiraVision for improved display quality and more. The full feature list of the chipset is below. MediaTek will be releasing the P10 in Q3, 2015, and expects the chipset to be available in consumer devices in late 2015.
