MediaTek to announce its 5G chip on November 26
"5G chips will be based on the Helio M70 and are expected to arrive at market in Q1 of 2020"
MediaTek is doing awesome things for mobile tech lately. MediaTek in July launched their gaming focused SoC the Helio G90 and nw they have turned their focus on 5G for both highend and mid-range phones.
According to earlier company plans, the first 5G chips will be based on the Helio M70 and are expected to arrive at market in Q1 of 2020. Now, company has officially scheduled to unveil its first 5G chips on November 26 at MediaTek Summit.
From the looks of images we can only guess and estimate whats with the hardware of the chips. The chipset has the designation of MT6885Z designation and from the earlier leaks we can assume that this is the upcoming flagship-grade 7nm FinFET process silicon. And the expected specs of the chipset includes Cortex-A77 CPU and Mali-G77 CPU cores, sub-6 GHz frequency support, third-generation AI processing engine and camera support of up to 80 MP and 4K 60fps video recording.
MediaTek is also making an effort to bring Helio M70 SA/NSA dual-mode 5G modem to the masses, within a more affordable mid-range chipset package likely to be named MT6873. And according to early rumors it will use Cortex-A76 cores and the same 7nm FinFET process. And it is scheduled to go on mass production in Q2 of 2020.
