MediaTek to Unveil 5G Chipsets With Helio H70 Modem on November 26

Taiwanese fabless semiconductor company, MediaTek, has appear plans to unveil its kickoff mobile processor with 5G connectivity at an issue in Taipei on November 26. Designated as the MT6885Z, the upcoming 5G chipset from MediaTek is expected to be built on the 7nm FinFET process, which should make it fairly energy efficient. Information technology is likely to transport next yr with the Helio M70 5G modem, which is expected to offer SA/ NSA dual-mode connectivity.

Aslope the aforementioned processor, MediaTek is also said to exist working on another 5G SoC, known every bit the MT6873. It is said to exist a mid-range chipset meant for affordable smartphones, merely volition also include the same Helio H70 modem, thereby ushering in the era of relatively affordable 5G smartphones in Mainland china and effectually the world. According to reports, this one volition also have Cortex-A76 CPU cores and should as well be based on the same 7nm FinFET process.

Pictures like this don't get old — this tiny little @MediaTek foursquare will power many devices to come, including the 5G future. More than info will come up at the proclamation on November 26!#MediaTekSummit #thischipchangeseverything pic.twitter.com/LwJ1jO2Xnt

While MediaTek is yet to officially announce the exact tech specs of either of the upcoming fries, recent rumors suggest that the MT6885 should include Cortex-A77 CPU cores and the Mali-G77 GPU. Information technology is too said to offering sub-half-dozen GHz frequency support, a third-generation AI processing engine, camera back up of upward to 80MP and 4K video recording support at up to 60fps.

The MediaTek MT6885Z is said to exist already in production, and will reportedly start shipping to OEMs by the commencement quarter of next year. Sadly, though, the mid-range MT6873 won't become into production before Q2, 2020, which ways we may non see mid-range 5G smartphones powered by MediaTek processors in the next few months.
