MediaTek has announced two new budget SoCs in the gaming-focused G series. The MediaTek Helio G25 and Helio G35 feature MediaTek HyperEngine game technology for faster, smoother performance, and enhanced power efficiency. These feature Arm Cortex-A53 CPUs, operating up to 2GHz & 2.3GHz and feature IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPUs, with speeds of up to 650MHz and up to 680 MHz, respectively.
The SoCs use the 12nm FinFET production process. As for the MediaTek HyperEngine, it offers intelligent resource management that ensures sustained and smooth performance, even in demanding action. When the Wi-Fi signal is weak, the technology intelligently triggers Wi-Fi & LTE concurrency within milliseconds, to ensure a lag-free connection.
