With this news on hand, we can safely say that the rumored Helio P80 will not come to life. Instead the speculated information and the features may appear in the form of Helio P90.
Here is what Android Authority recently shared about the upcoming MediaTek’s Helio P90 chipset. The folks didn’t mention about the image below if it really was the chipset in subject. However that’s what we assume as the MT6779 is currently an unreleased chipset by MediaTek that only appeared on Geekbench recently – see after the break.
When appeared on famous benchmark’s list, the chip was supposed to be the Helio X40. But considering a report published earlier in November that MediaTek has paused working on high-end Helio X series chips, it had to be the mid-range Helio P chip.
Now that we can see the actual chip above, you can assume the following Geekbench score of the upcoming Helio P90 processor with the “groundbreaking AI” that MediaTek has just started teasing with.
So if you remember that there was OPPO R19 in rumors to be the first smartphone to feature Helio P80. Well, if Helio P80 does not have a life ahead, we can also assume the smartphone to feature the Helio P90 instead.
According to rumors and leaked benchmark information, you are looking at a most powerful mid-range chipset. If all that goes good in real time, MediaTek is going to break the boundaries with its upcoming Helio P90. It’s not far from being announced officially by the end of this year, and the year 2018 is just about to end.
