MediaTek Helio G85 Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP) is a more advanced version of big.LITTLE technology. In this setup, a processor can utilize all cores at the same time, or just a single core for low-intensity tasks. High-performance octa-core processor Frequence:up to 2.0Ghz GPU: ARM G52 MC2, up to 1000MHz MediaTek HyperEngine. Battery and Charging. Xiaomi unveiled the Redmi Note 9 last week with a chipset called Helio G85 by Mediatek. Today the Taiwanese chip manufacturer has finally detailed the SoC itself - it comes with slightly faster GPU.
We compared two 8-core processors: Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 (with Adreno 610 graphics) and MediaTek Helio G85 (Mali-G52 MP2). Here you will find the pros and cons of each chip, technical specs, and comprehensive tests in benchmarks, like AnTuTu and Geekbench.
MediaTek Helio G85 – an 8-core chipset that was announced on April 30, 2020, and is manufactured using a 12-nanometer process technology. It has 2 cores Cortex-A75 at 2000 MHz and 6 cores Cortex-A55 at 1800 MHz. 小米 11：一支發光發熱的小米手機 雖然小米11在台灣3/18才開賣不久，3/29中國便發表了大杯小米11Pro以及超大杯11Ultra.
