Computex 2019: MediaTek Helio M70 SoC with ARM Cortex-A77 CPU, Mali-G77 GPU, built-in 5G modem introduced

Working to make sure that the 5G wave touches low-cost handsets, Taiwanese fabless semiconductor firm MediaTek launched its new 5G system-on-chip (SoC) at Computex 2019. Designed to energy the primary wave of 5G smartphones, the chipset relies on 7nm node.

The built-in 5G chipset, with the MediaTek Helio M70 5G modem in-built, consists of ARM‘s Cortex-A77 CPU, Mali-G77 GPU and the corporate’s most superior AI processing unit (APU) to satisfy the ability and efficiency calls for of 5G. The brand new CPU guarantees to ship 20 p.c efficiency bounce. The Mali-G77 GPU, however, relies on new Valhall structure which guarantees to supply as much as 40 p.c efficiency enhancements.

“Every little thing about this chip is designed for the primary wave of flagship 5G units. The modern expertise on this chipset makes it essentially the most highly effective 5G SoC introduced so far and places MediaTek on the forefront of 5G design,” MediaTek President Joe Chen mentioned in a press release right here. The multi-mode 5G chipset is for 5G standalone and non-standalone (SA/NSA) sub-6GHz networks.

It helps connectivity from 2G to 4G to bridge present community entry whereas 5G networks roll out globally. MediaTek’s 5G chipset is built-in with its beforehand introduced Helio M70 5G modem to provide system makers a complete resolution for ultra-fast 5G in a power-efficient bundle. The on-die implementation is best in comparison with off-die resolution supplied by Qualcomm (Snapdragon X50 5G modem), which isn’t constructed into the SoC. The on-die resolution is best as a result of it’s extra environment friendly than off-die resolution.

The brand new MediaTek 5G SoC shall be constructed on TSMC’s  newest 7nm+ course of which just lately kicked off mass manufacturing. The brand new SoC could be prepared for lead buyer samples within the third quarter of 2019 and be in business units by the primary quarter of 2020.
