A desire for faster data plans, increasingly complex apps, and larger screens capable of supporting higher resolutions requires more efficient chips for smartphones. Yet the advance in battery technology for mobile devices simply isn't keeping pace.
Designing a mobile device is no longer just about perfecting its computing power, design, and user interface; it's about doing all these things while driving far less power consumption and greater efficiency.
Introducing the solution
Enter MediaTek helio X20 / X25 - the world’s first mobile processor with Tri-Cluster CPU architecture and ten processing cores (Deca-core). Delivering extreme computing performance with unmatched power efficiency, the new MediaTek helio X20 / X25 processor is set to revolutionize the smartphone industry and address the growing global demand for flagship mobile devices.
MediaTek helio X20 / X25 provides three processor clusters, each designed to more efficiently handle different types of workloads. Much like adding gears to vehicles, dividing the cores into three clusters provides a more efficient allocation of tasks for optimum performance and extended battery life.
It can delegate simple tasks to one cluster of cores, while directing more-complex (and more-power-hungry) tasks to the other clusters. If the smartphone is doing only simple tasks - such as sending text messages or running the calculator - on one cluster, the other clusters can power down, and therefore drive smoother performance and extended battery life

Key features and performance
MediaTek helio X20 / X25 delivers state-of-the-art camera, display, gaming, and audio features for today’s most demanding apps.
The MediaTek helio X20 / X25 introduces dual main cameras and features a built-in 3D depth engine as well as multi-scale de-noise engines, for faster response time between shots and unprecedented detail, color, and sharpness, even under extreme conditions.
Display is refreshed at an accelerated 120 frames per second for crisp and responsive scrolling of web content and maps, and uncompromised motion viewing supporting mobile games with high-resolution graphics.
A sensor hub on the embedded ARM Cortex-M4 processor operates on an isolated, low-power domain to support diverse always-on applications, such as MP3 playback and voice activation

So far in Nigeria, Tecno adapted this technology for the Tecno Phantom 6plus. Though there are other top mobile phone that runs it but not yet in the country.

Really?

Hmm..the only thing i get is that it mks devices work faster n better..

Dandsome:
Really?

yes...it was launched march 2015 alongside with the helio X25 Deca core.

I think I'll go with you on this. In other not to confuse myself, let me stick to the message that it makes devices work better.

Na wa oh, you are explaining something and yet using big technological names, how can one understand?

That's why there's dictionary...
Say no to excuse and learn

since there is dictionary whats the need opening the thread when we can just go there and check?

Hmmmm, This is a good one. I love the fact that it's got an Amazing Display.

This is unarguably the best phone chipset in the world .

Irrespective of the benchmark you use, it has a very low rate of failure.
No wonder no news of explosions on phone makers like Huawei, LG, Tecno, Wiko, etc


Far far better than that ill-fated Snapdragon processor Samsung is using that is overheating and exploding everywhere.

You no nothing about SoCs

ollah2:


You no nothing about SoCs

I prefer to know nothing about chipsets that keep setting of like IEDs.

The snapdragon and the A10 fusion have been huge failures this 2016.

I feel sorry for Samsung and Apple. They are always welcome to switch to Mediatek to avoid fire.

Ohh in your mind, it's the SoCs that made the phones to blow up? I can see you have a problem. You tagged snapdragon(a brand) alongside a particular model (A10) as failures and hailing MTK.


Wow! Your problem is beyond words.

Walahi
so far beyond words

As in ehn, i just weak..

This must be the processors that phones like tecno are using.
That explains it.

Funny thread, processor to compete with mid range snapdragon 650/652. Its only just slightly faster than s650/652 and people are here celebrating MediaTek as if they just achieved something. I commend Mediatek for upping their game abit but apart from being relatively cheap they really mess up big time when it comes to battery and camera performances. Will pick s650/652 anyday over this, because it is the better chipset overall.

hi,
don't misslead others and don't let them mis lead you.
there's a popular article on why the galaxy note 7 explodes and not this chipset talk check it here

Yadda yadda! It may not be the direct cause but processor heat contributes to it somehow.

What's the difference between the X20 and X25?

I think media tel has com a long way.. Serious improvement

No much difference. I think you should google it out.
