The war for the 2017 processor has already begun, with the presentation a few days ago by the powerful 835 Snapdragon from Qualcomm, and the presentation today of MediaTek’s new bets for the high-end, the new helium 23 X and X 27. We will make a review with the most important aspects that offer these terminals to get a clearer idea of the properties of each of these proposals to feed the high range that we will see in 2017.
About two weeks ago Qulacomm introduced its new “beast” Snapdragon 835, a new processor developed in collaboration with Samsung and manufactured in the process of 10nm, which will mean the roof of firm performance over the next year.
Snapdragon 835 and the new helium 23 X and X 27 front
Although will not be rivals direct in 2017, which is destined to be the main processor of MediaTek in 2017 is helium X 30, these new helium 23 X and X 27 are two sides of the same coin, and are two variants of the X 30. The new processor by MediaTek are manufactured in a process of 20nm, opposite the Snapdragon 835 10nm. The new processors to MediaTek have ten cores, on the one hand the helium 27 X offers two Cortex A72 to 2, 6 GHz, four Cortex A53 to 2GHzy four Cortex A53 to 1. 6 GHz. For its part the helium X 23 offers them same nuclei to a speed lower, of 2, 3 GHz, 1. 85GHz and 1.4 GHz respectively.
Meanwhile Snapdragon 835 returns to 8 nuclei of the 810 and will offer four cores at higher speed and four others at one lower frequency. For their part the GPU of them new helium X 23 and X 27 is a Mali T880 to a speed of clock of 780 MHz and 875 MHz respectively. Of the Snapdragon 835 is expected a GPU Andreno 540. On the Snapdragon 835 memory will support LPDDR4X-1866 of four channels and memory flash UFS 2.1, while the new helium 23 X and X 27 LPDDR3 POP 800 MHz. In all cases, both the new helium and the Snapdragon 835 have support for dual cameras.
In broadly
Improvements involving the arrival of these processors, are for example in the case of the new Snapdragon 835 is obviously faster processor, up to 27% faster and up to 30% more efficient, which accompanied a very important aspect, because it consumes up to 40% less energy. While on the other hand the new helium 23 X and X 27 offer up to 20% more performance with respect to current helium X 25 and improve, and much, the performance of the camera and the GPU thanks to the improvement of algorithms.
Ultimately are facing three processors for the high-end of 2017, that Yes, not fight on equal terms, since it is expected that helium 30 X is the real enemy of the 835 Snapdragon. Despite this, the new helium 23 X and X 27 not will be not easy to the high range of Qualcomm.
