Mediatek Helio A25 vs Mediatek Helio P65

Mediatek Helio A25

The Mediatek Helio A25 is an entry level ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in early 2020. It is manufactured in a 12 nm FinFET process and is equipped with 8 ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores divided in two clusters. A performance cluster with 4 cores clocked at up to 1.8 GHz and a efficiency cluster clocked at up to 1.5 GHz.

Furthermore, the SoC integrates a LTE Cat.4 modem, a LPDDR3-933 / LPDDR4-1200 / LPDDR4x-1600 memory controller, a IMG PowerVR GE8320 graphics card and a 1080p30 video de- and encoder (H.265 decoding, H.264 encoding).

Mediatek Helio P65

The Mediatek Helio P65 is a mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in mid 2019. It is manufactured in a 12 nm FinFET (12FFC) process and is equipped with 2x big ARM Cortex-A75 cores with up to 2 GHz and 6x small and power efficient ARM Cortex-A55 cores in two clusters (bigLITTLE). The processor also integrates a ARM Mali-G52MC2 GPU and a dedicated AI processing unit. Furthermore, the integrated radio supports Cat-7 (DL) / Cat-13 (UL) LTE, 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.2, and FM radio.
