MediaTek today announced its new Helio chipset — the P10. The octa-core chipset comes with comes Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2GHz and a dual-core Mali-T860 GPU.

It is the first chipset from MediaTek to be based on TSMC’s 28nm HPC+ fabrication process that allows for reduced power consumption. MediaTek boasts that the fabrication process along with “numerous architecture and circuit design optimisation” help the Helio P10 in saving up to 30% more power compared to existing chipsets that are based on the 28nm HPC process.

“The P series will provide OEM smartphone makers with greater design flexibility to meet consumer demands for slim form-factors, which provide dynamic multimedia experiences,” said Jeffrey Ju, Senior Vice President of MediaTek. “The P10 enables state-of-the-art mobile computing and multimedia features all while balancing performance and battery life.” 

Other feature of the P10 include LTE Cat-6 support with carrier aggregation, TrueBright ISP engine, MiraVision for improved display quality and more. The full feature list of the chipset is below.

• 21MP premium camera with the world’s first TrueBright ISP engine.
• Hi-fidelity, hi-clarity audio achieves 110dB SNR & -95dB THD.
• Full HD display at 60FPS with MediaTek’s suite of MiraVision 2.0 display technologies.

MediaTek will be releasing the P10 in Q3, 2015, and expects the chipset to be available in consumer devices in late 2015.
