Why pay attention to the low end chipsets?   When the power and throughput of a new low end chipset eclipse the mainstream chipsets of only a year ago that means that the capabilities of phones and tablets will escalate yet again.

You notice people mentioning second screens and 4k resolution on dual screen outputs?  You notice the 6 gig natural memory capacity?   Suppose you got you an Android OS 7.0  that actually used these sorts of things ........

Mediatek makes a new splash in low end phones


The new MediaTek Helio P20 is said to be 25 percent more efficient than the Helio P10, while offering about 20 percent more performance and adding support for up to 6GB of LPDDR4X memory.



The new chip is a 16nm TSMC processor with 8 ARM Cortex-A53 64-bit CPU cores clocked at up to 2.3 GHz, and ARM Mali-T880 graphics clocked at 900 MHz and capable of powering up to two displays with 1080p resolutions at 60 frames per second.

It also supports LTE Cat.6 connectivity for download speeds up to 300 Mbps and uploads up to 50 Mbps.

MediaTek says the move to LPDDR4X RAM offers 70 percent more memory bandwidth and a 50 percent power saving.

Other features include support for dual SIM cards and an integrated image sensor with support for 24MP cameras, dual phase-detection autofocus and image noise reduction technology.

MediaTek says devices featuring the Helio P20 processor should begin shipping in the second half of 2016.
