Mediatek Helio G70 vs Mediatek Helio G96 vs Mediatek Helio G99

Mediatek Helio G70

► remove from comparison Mediatek Helio G70

The Mediatek Helio G70 is a mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in 2020. It is manufactured in a 12 nm FinFET process and integrates 8 CPU cores. Two fast ARM Cortex-A75 cores with up to 2 GHz for performance tasks and six small ARM Cortex-A55 with up to 1.7 GHz for efficiency. All eight cores can be used together thanks to Heterogeneous Multi-Processing support. The integrated GPU is a ARM Mali-G52 MC2 (MP2) with two clusters at up to 820 MHz. The SoC also integrates the HyperEngine that handles a dynamic management of CPU, GPU and memory.

Compared to the slightly faster Helio G80, the difference to the G70 is the slightly lower clock speed for the A55 cores (-100 MHz) and GPU (-130 MHz).

The SoC integrates furthermore a LTE radio with Cat-7 (download) / Cat-13 (upload) support, Wifi 5 (ac), Bluetooth 5.0, LPDDR4x 1800 MHz and eMMC 5.1 storage.

Mediatek Helio G96

► remove from comparison Mediatek Helio G96

The Mediatek Helio G96 is a mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in 2021. It is manufactured in a 12 nm FinFET process and is equipped with 2x big ARM Cortex-A76 cores with up to 2.05 GHz and 6x small and power efficient ARM Cortex-A55 cores (max. 2 GHz) in two clusters (bigLITTLE). The chip integrates an ARM Mali-G57 MC2 (two cores) clocked at up to 950 MHz. Compared to the similar Helio G95, the G96 offers a slower GPU but supports 120 Hz displays (G95 90 Hz).

Furthermore, the integrated LTE modem supports Cat-12 600 Mbps download and Cat-13 150 Mbps upload speeds. Wi-Fi 5 is also integrated (a/b/g/n/ac). The memory controller supports LPDDR3 and LPDDR4x with up to 2,133 MHz with up to 10 GB capacity.

Mediatek Helio G99

► remove from comparison Mediatek Helio G99

The Mediatek Helio G99 is a mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in 2022. It is manufactured in a 6 nm FinFET process and is equipped with 2x big ARM Cortex-A76 cores with up to 2.2 GHz and 6x small and power efficient ARM Cortex-A55 cores (max. 2 GHz) in two clusters (bigLITTLE). The chip integrates an ARM Mali-G57 MC2 (two cores). Compared to the older Helio G96, the G99 is manufactured in the more recent 6nm process and clocks higher.

Furthermore, the integrated LTE / 4G modem supports Cat-13 download speeds. Wi-Fi 5 is also integrated (a/b/g/n/ac). The memory controller supportsLPDDR4x with up to 4,266 Mbps.
