A few days ago, the latest report from Taimei Digitimes pointed out that the chip manufacturer's interior identified two new mobile processors, with the two chips, based on 10 nm technology, and the specific model has also been determined as Helio X30 and Helio X35. Although there is not much detail reported, it can be determined that the Helio X30 chip is high-end products between the two, which is considered to compete with Qualcomm Snapdragon and Samsung Exynos series chip competition.
So, what is the specific characteristics of the Helio X30 processor? It has been reported that Helio X30 will be the new evolution of Helio X20 last year, and it is also the perfect upgrade of Helio X25. Of course, as the aforementioned, HELIO X30 focuses on the process process more advanced, from the 20-nanometer process of the previous station to the latest 10 nano-processes.
Helio will be a processor with ten-core design. First, 2 the latest ARM's Cortex-A73 kernel (code artemis), the highest frequency is up to 2.8GHz, mainly responsible for some arduous and cumbersome tasks. Furthermore, it is also equipped with 4 AMR Cortex-A53 kernels, and the main frequency may be 2.2GHz, and the remaining 4 kernels are also Cortex-A53, but the default frequency is a lower 2.0GHz, responsible for the most exclusive task.
Prior to the official United States said, the development of a new generation of Helio X30 chips mainly made new optimizations for architecture design, and the purpose is to make the chip to achieve higher energy efficiency.
In addition, in the GPU graphics processor unit, the Helio X30 chip will integrate the PowerVR 7XT quad-core GPU, benefited from the new features of the GPU, will support some excellent features than previous, such as Google platform's Daydream VR platform, Support for up to 40 megapixel camera sensors, and shooting 24fps in this pixel. Helio X30 also supports 16 million pixel shooting 60FPS movies, or photographs with 8 million pixels up to 120fps.
In terms of hardware extensions, the Helio X30 mobile chip will support up to 8GB capacity LPDDR4 POP 1600MHz memory, support storage of UFS 2.1 technical standards, support 3 carrier aggregation, Cat.10 to CAT.12 all Netcom communication baseband.
Another 10-nanometer-processor Helio X35 processor is equivalent to the version of Helio X30, which is mainly designed to medium and high-end models, not necessarily used on flagship smartphones, and the specific details are still unclear. However, even the Helio X30 flagship chip, the future will only be used to locate smartphones with more than 200,000 yuan, the goal is faster to compete for higher market share.
Since Digitime is in contact with Taiwan's supply chain, it has also got a relatively clear news. It is said that the latest 10 nano-process in Taiwan has received the order of three customers, except for UNACD, this also includes Apple. In addition, the Helio X30 processor of the latest 10nm process of the United Kingdom is initially determined in the first quarter of 2017.
If you don't accidentally, the Helio X30 processor of Liaotai will definitely be earlier than Apple A11 chips. It is also expected to be a three-day and high-pass, which is very likely to become the first mobile processor using 10 nano-processes in history. Milestone. However, since Apple is also the first customer, we don't exclude Apple's A10x chip design for next-generation iPad or one of the first batch of 10 nanometers.
