MediaTek has announced its latest chipset in the Helio X series, this time, it’s the Helio X30. The biggest change with the new chipset is that it has been shrunk down to 10nm (nanometers) from its predecessor, the X20's, 20 nanometers.



Helio X30 promises 53% improved power savings and 43% better performance than the Helio X20.


It supports LPDDR4 RAM up to 8GB and up to 28-megapixel dual ISPs.


The X30 uses a three island design, it has:
·4 x Cortex-A73 @ 2.8GHz
·4 x Cortex-A53 @ 2.2GHz
·2 x Cortex-A53 @ 2.0GHz

The X30 is able to support up to 8GB of RAM with its four LPDDR4X bays, 4K video recording and playback at 30fps with the PowerVR 7XTP-MT4 GPU (850MHz), and dual-cameras up to 28MP.

MediaTek also introduced Helio P25, an upgraded version of the Helio P20 that was introduced earlier this year.




This uses thesame 16nm TSMC process, but this will be clocked slightly faster than the P20.



The high-end Helio X30 is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2017 in which Vernee Apollowill be the first device come with Helio X30, we expect other devices to start shipping with the chip soon.
