Why You Should Love Phantom 8's Helio P25 CPU by Nobody: 6:20pm On Oct 24, 2017 |
There are concerns from some Tecno fans and users about the company's decision to go with an octa-core Helio P25 SoC (Systems-on-Chip) which they believe is a step down over deca-core Helio X20 used in Phantom 6+. There is no need to worry fans, I will be sharing with you 5 reasons Helio P25 is better than Helio X20. 1. 16nm FinFET MANUFACTURING PROCESS Previous Helio X20 used a 20nm HPM manufacturing process while Helio P25 used a 16nm FINFET, we could have a long lecture on both technologies but in a nutshell Helio P25 is a much smaller CPU at 16nm with a much improved FinFET technology which allows Helio P25 consume roughly 90% less power than Helio X20 2. FASTER AND MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT RAM Helio X20 has a maximum RAM size support of 4GB and it used an LPDDR3 RAM type which clocked at 800 MHz while Helio P25 has a maximum RAM size support of 6GB and it uses an LPDDR4X RAM clocked at 1600 Mhz. Apart from the higher RAM size of LPDDR4X, it will consume 50% less power than its lower generation LPDDR3 at 150% more bandwidth. Also, having a higher clock speed means the CPU will access files from the RAM faster than LPDDR3. 3. IMPROVED IMAGIQ ISP WITH DUAL CAMERA SUPPORT ISP (image signal processor) is a special processor which handles anything related to camera for pictures and video capture e.g autofocus, exposure, HDR, white balance etc. are all handled by the ISP. Helio P25 has much improved IMAGIQ ISP which adds support for dual camera, crisp optical zoom up to 10x, real time depth of field and more. The ISP allows Tecno to add features like Super Zoom and Auto Refocus to the Phantom 8. 4. FASTER GPU (Graphical Processing Unit) Both Helio P25 and X20 use the same ARM Mali T880 GPU but Helio P25’s GPU clocks higher at 1 Ghz against 780 Mhz of Helio X20. 5.CORE PILOT 4.0 Both SoC’s use mediatek’s Core pilot scheduler to determine workload and select which cores to use and which cores to turn off. But Helio P25 which is a later SoC supports Core Pilot 4.0 which doesn’t just determine workloads across cores, it also measures the thermal consumption of the CPU and uses that data to balance workloads. This means Phantom 8 and Helio P25 will run cooler that its predecessor. There you have it. Helio X20 is designed to have a more powerful CPU, a jack of one trade. But Helio P25 is designed to be a more dynamic SoC, it’s powerful enough to handle any task, great at multitasking thanks to its more improved RAM, more battery efficient that's why Phantom 8 doesn’t need 4000mah battery to last as long as Phantom 6+, will handle games better and will also stay cool headed most of the time. What do you think about Phantom 8’s Soc? PEACE!

So OP Helio P25 is not a step down from Helio X20? 2 Likes |

P25 is actually coool It was also used on Samsung Galaxy Max 1 Like |

Still not a worthy upgrade, should've given us the X30, but i won't blame Tecno for that since mediatek had production issues with the x30 and P25 was it's closest. 3 Likes |

Norman4real: Maybe P25 is still better than X30 you know |

Norman4real:God bless your landlord jare.... Was actually xpeting an helio x30.. Mtcheeeew |
Re: Why You Should Love Phantom 8's Helio P25 CPU by stanboy28(m): 11:54am On Oct 25, 2017 |
Op Abeg jst kain ur line jare... To me it's a step down.. If it was even then Helio x25 I will be happy.. This is a Fvcking downgrade.. Mtcheeeew.. And here I was... Expecting an Helio x30.. Rubbish...and worse is the price tag... And even more better fones with same chipset are cheaper.. I even saw an Helio x25 4g ram fone for 84k on gearbest... This shit is overrated.. |
Re: Why You Should Love Phantom 8's Helio P25 CPU by Nobody: 12:33pm On Oct 25, 2017 |
stanboy28: OK I understand your point. But still, the pros of P25 may outweigh the cons of X25 or X30. Truth is we cannot know better than the manufacturer |

Iamdemola:agreed |
Re: Why You Should Love Phantom 8's Helio P25 CPU by Behankey(m): 10:42am On Nov 01, 2017 |
A lot of us was expecting the device to run on the X30. I just think the P25 was used as a better alternative |

Whether upgrade or downgrade the phantom make sense die |
Re: Why You Should Love Phantom 8's Helio P25 CPU by Jaculze(m): 7:28pm On Nov 23, 2017 |
Meaning the phantom 8 is running on a major CPU |

Re: Why You Should Love Phantom 8's Helio P25 CPU by tidedroid: 7:45am On Dec 16, 2017 |
Iamdemola:don't mislead people,helio x20 GPU is mp4(it has 4 cores) while helio p25 GPU is mp2( meaning it has 2 cores) |
Re: Why You Should Love Phantom 8's Helio P25 CPU by tidedroid: 7:47am On Dec 16, 2017 |
Norman4real:I think they should waited for p30 or at 300 dollars they should have used a snapdragon 660 like xiaomi did on the similarly priced Mi note 3 |
