Mediatek Helio G85 vs Mediatek Helio P60

Mediatek Helio G85

The Mediatek Helio G85 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 1.8 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 1000 MHz (up from 950 MHz from the otherwise similar Helio G80). The SoC also integrates the HyperEngine that handles a dynamic management of CPU, GPU and memory.

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 P60

The Mediatek Helio P60 is an upper mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in early 2018. It is manufactured in a 12 nm FinFET (12FFC) process and is equipped with 4x big ARM Cortex-A73 cores and 4x small and power efficient ARM Cortex-A53 cores in two clusters (bigLITTLE). The cores can reach a frequency of up to 2 GHz. The processor also integrates a ARM Mali-G72MP3 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.
