MT6885 Officially Exposed: MediaTek’s First 7nm 5G Chip

Not that long ago, some users posted on Twitter interesting information concerning the MediaTek plans that also included MediaTek’s 5G SoC chip. The most notable feature of this chip is the integration of the 5G baseband into the MediaTek’s chipset. And as you guess, this is the first 7nm SoC with a 5G support.

At present, MediaTek is in deep cooperation with OPPO and VIVO and these three will released 5G phones in the nearest future. But the Taiwanese company doesn’t stop and is also sending samples to Huawei. If all goes well, MediaTek will have the opportunity to enter Huawei’s supply chain and win Huawei’s 5G low-end smartphone orders.

It’s also believed that MediaTek has been sending the new chip to the manufacturers. It was announced the MT6885 at the COMPUTEX2019 exhibition.

This 5G mobile platform is built on the 7nm process technology and is the world’s first smartphone chip that uses ARM’s latest and fastest Cortex A77 CPU and Mali-G77 GPU.

More importantly, it integrates the Helio M70 5G modem with 4.7Gbps download speed and 2.5Gbps upload speed, supporting 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G connectivity and dynamic power allocation.

As for the rest of the parameters, the company has stressed that it uses an energy-saving package. Moreover, the design can achieve a higher transmission rate with lower power consumption, and create a comprehensive ultra-high-speed 5G solution for terminal smartphone manufacturers. At the same time, it also adopts a new AI architecture and comes with a new independent AI processing unit, APU. The latter supports more advanced AI applications. Among them, we can mention the image processing technology that eliminates image blur. Even if the subject moves quickly, the user can still make a wonderful photo.
