The Helio G85 is MediaTek’s latest mid-range gaming chipset

MediaTek has announced another chipset to bolster its ranks. This time around, the company is introducing their latest mid-range gaming chipset, the Helio G85. It shares the same arrangement as the Helio G80 although the GPU has received an increase in clock speeds in order to deliver better gaming performance.

Like the Helio G80, the Helio G85 sports two ARM Cortex-A75 CPUs running at 2.0GHz and six ARM Cortex-A55 CPUs clocked at 1.8GHz. Its GPU is an ARM Mali-G52 MC2 but instead of running at 950MHz like the G80, the G85 runs its GPU at a higher 1.0GHz clock speed.

Aside from the higher clocked GPU, MediaTek is adding on quite a bit of tech with the Helio G85.

• HyperEngine Resource Management – Allows for the dynamic management of the CPU, GPU, and memory as well as better battery life.
• HyperEngine Connectivity Enhancements – MediaTek’s HyperEngine will also predict WiFi and LTE concurrency triggers in just 13ms to ensure a lag-free connection.
• Premium Multi-Camera – The Helio G85 will support a mix of multi-camera setups such as telescopic, macro, and wide-angle with sensor sizes of up to 16 + 16MP or a single 48MP sensor.
• Integrated Voice Wakeup – Its built-in Voice (VoW) will now use minimal power and optimized package sizes for voice assistant services.

The MediaTek Helio G85 is set to make its first appearance in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9. More devices powered by MediaTek’s latest mid-range gaming chipset are expected to make their debut in the next few months.
