Taiwanese chipmaker MediaTek has unveiled a new entry-level chipset for mobile devices. The new product, called Helio G36, is so similar to the Helio G37 chip released last year that it can be called a rebranded version with a lower clock speed.
The MediaTek Helio G36 is made using a 12nm FinFET process. It includes eight Cortex-A53 processing cores, which operate at a clock frequency of 2.2 GHz versus 2.3 GHz for the Helio G37. The IMG PowerVR GE8320 graphics accelerator is responsible for graphics processing. The platform also received a built-in cellular modem with support for 4G LTE Cat-7, VoLTE and two SIM cards.
Specifications MediaTek Helio G36:
- Process technology: 12nm FinFET;
- CPU: octa-core Cortex-A53 with a maximum clock speed of 2.2 GHz, 64-bit architecture;
- graphics accelerator: IMG PowerVR GE8320 with a maximum clock speed of 680 MHz;
- RAM: up to 8 GB LPDDR3 or LPDDR4x;
- built-in storage: eMMC 5.1;
- maximum screen resolution: 2400×1080 pixels;
- maximum image refresh rate: 90 Hz;
- maximum camera resolution: 50 MP (15 fps) / 25 MP (30 fps) / 13 + 13 MP (30 fps);
- communications: Wi-Fi 5 (b/g/n/ac), Bluetooth 5.0, 4G VoLTE.
The first device based on the MediaTek Helio G36 will be some kind of budget gaming smartphone, which should appear in India in the near future. What kind of device it is and what characteristics it has remains to be seen.
