Mediatek Helio G85 vs UNISOC T8200 (T765)

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.

UNISOC T8200 (T765)

The UniSoc T8200 (former UniSoc T765) is a mid-range SoC with 8 processor cores in two clusters. The two large ARM Cortex-A76 cores are clocked at up to 2.3 GHz. The six smaller cores run at up to 2.1 GHz.

The integrated memory controller supports LPDDR4/4X with up to 2133 MHz (2x 16 bit). The integrated ISP supports a camera up to 108 MPixel. The integrated graphics card is an ARM Mali-G57 MC2 (2 cores) is used. The built-in 5G modem supports TDD+FDD CA in the sub-6GHz spectrum with 130 MHz bandwidth.

The chip is manufactured using the somewhat older 6nm process (EUV at TSMC).
