MediaTek Announces 7nm 5G With CortexA77 CPU MaliG77 GPU Coming AnandTech

Today MedaTek is making quite an unusual announcement: The agency is the first to announce a SoC with an integrated 5G modem. Even more interesting is the fact that the new silicon is the primary introduced design to hire Arm’s brand-new Cortex-A77 cores and new Mali-G77 GPU that had been both introduced handiest two days ago.

The atypical element approximately these days’s declaration is this seems like a pretty early pre-assertion. MediaTek doesn’t expose the actual product call of the brand new SoC nor does it move into element of the specifications. What is divulged however is that the chipset is built on TSMC’s new 7nm process-node, and integrates MediaTek’s personal Helio M70 modem IP.

The M70 modem helps 5G NR inside the sub-6GHz spectrum with as much as 2x carrier aggregation. The modem helps each standalone as well as non-standalone 5G community architectures. It’s to be mentioned that we gained’t be seeing mmWave from MediaTek this early: In the markets that the organisation sees the SoC we received’t be seeing mmWave networks deployed for numerous extra years, and in fashionable the USA is the strange one out with early mmWave deployments at the same time as the relaxation of the sector makes a speciality of sub-6GHz insurance.

The use of Arm’s new Cortex-A77 and Mali-G77 GPU approach that the SoC may have the most up-to-date IP at release, some thing that MediaTek hasn’t been capable of gain in a few generations. Alongside the CPU and GPU, MediaTek will appoint its 1/3 generation APU layout, which makes use of the company own in-residence IP.

Finally, the imaging competencies of the SoC are said to were substantially better and now supports 4K60 decode and encode together with 80MP ISP capability.

We don’t recognise lots extra approximately the SoC, and exactly what product class its focused on, however we count on MediaTek to nevertheless largely goal the mid-variety. We should be seeing gadgets with the new SoC released in 2020.
