MediaTek is updating its gaming processor

Over the past few months, MediaTek has left with its first gaming processor, the Helio G80, which has appeared in mid-range models so far. Last week, during the launch of Xiaomi's new phones, the launch of Redmi Note 9, which used a new processor, unknown to date, Helium G85.

MediaTek is finally officially launching this new processor. The Helio G85 is a mid-range processor, that puts the focus back on gambling, its efficiency. A model that develops fewer features compared to the Helio G80, but is generally very similar.

It is focused on sports

MediaTek makes it clear on its website that this processor will do it give a good performance when you play. The Helio G85 h as an Arm Mali-G52 GPU, which offers speeds of up to 1 Ghz, providing good performance while playing, combined with the existing Arm Cortex-A75 CPU. The processor is designed to work well on the phone.

For optimum performance, MediaTek introduces several improvements, such as a intelligent and powerful CPU, memory management, energy efficiency, in order to devote more hours of play and development to networking. As it will be able to intelligently predict the quality of WiFi or LTE, or the functionality that reduces calls while playing, without data connection goes down.

MediaTek continues to advise on the development of artificial intelligence in practical applications, as is the case with the Helio G85. In this case, improve AI functions on camera, with functions such as object recognition by apps such as Google Lens. In addition to a clever photo album, enhanced recovery, or background removal. MediaTek also supports Ne Ne Network Android APIs, so developers can make progress in app development.

As for the Helio G80, product type improves GPU performance in particular, which makes it a perfect processor when it comes to gaming. For one thing, we can see that the Helio G85 hasn't changed much compared to its predecessor, but it should be enough to work better.
