Present at the launching event, Asia Africa MediaTek’s Senior Sales Corporate Manager, Pang Sui Yen said that the 12nm fabrication processor was a special SoC for games. “Helio G90T is a powerful chipset created specifically for gamers,” Sui Yen said at the MediaTek Tech Forum event in Jakarta. The Helio G90T processor, he continued, was the first time embedded in a Redmi Note 8 Pro smartphone, and was the first device to have the chipset. On the same occasion, Xiaomi Indonesia’s Country Director Alvin Tse revealed that the Xiaomi collaboration processor with MediaTek was able to compete with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G previously known to have a special performance for playing games. “We believe the Redmi Note 8 Pro with Helio G90T will provide a faster and smoother game experience up to 34 percent faster than competitors (Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G),” said Tse. The Helio G90T processor is a merger between the Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55 Arm CPUs, which is paired with the Mali-G76 Arm GPU with speeds up to 800 MHz. The GPU used by the chipset is claimed to have more power up to 30 percent compared to its predecessor, the Mali-G72. In addition, the G90T also uses HyperEngine technology which is claimed to provide the best gaming experience. Meanwhile, the Redmi Note 8 Pro which is an Android phone with a 64 MP resolution camera is scheduled to be released in Nigeria this month.
