MediaTek launched another Budget Mobile Processor Mediatek Helio G85, and it features in Redmi Note 9. It is a new version of Helio G80 with some improvement like Helio G90T is the latest version of G90. We will compare this to another gaming Mobile processor feature in Redmi Note 8 pro. Mediatek Helio G90T vs G85 and which one is the best. Snapdragon 732G Helio G85 We compared two 8-core processors: Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G (with Adreno 618 graphics) and MediaTek Helio G85 (Mali-G52 MP2). Here you will find the pros and cons of each chip, technical specs, and comprehensive tests in benchmarks, like AnTuTu and Geekbench. MediaTek Helio G85 is a lower mid-end SoC dedicated to the mid-end gaming smartphones. It has a 12nm FinFET TSMC process, an octa-core dual cluster design (2x Cortex A75 @2.0GHz + 6x Cortex-A55 @1.8GHz), a 1GHz ARM Mali-G52 2EEMC2 (2 c0res) as the GPU, 60Hz screen support, and some gaming optimizations (Hyperengine game technology). The MediaTek helio G85 is a fairly new processor in comparison to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G. The former was launched on 30th April 2020 whereas the latter was launched on 9th April 2019.

Mtk Helio G85 Vs Snapdragon 625
Xiaomi unveiled the Redmi Note 9 last week with a chipset called Helio G85 by Mediatek. Today the Taiwanese chip manufacturer has finally detailed the SoC itself - it comes with slightly faster GPU than the Helio G80, but keeps the same CPU.
The Helio G85 comes with two Cortex-A75 cores running at 2.0GHz and six Cortex-A55 units at 1.8GHz. The Mali-G52 GPU now is clocked at 1GHz, unlike the Helio G80 that was doing 950MHz. The chip has all of the features from the Helio G80 like VoW (voice on wakeup) and enhanced HyperEngine Game technology.

MediaTek promises intelligent prediction of Wi-Fi and LTE concurrency and the chip can switch between networks in just 13 ms - enough to provide a lag-free connection. It will also bring faster response between cell towers and the cell phone and will defer calls while in-game without dropping the data connection - an issue that even flagships are struggling with.
Helio G85 Benchmark
Mediatek is already shipping the SoC to manufacturers, so we expect more smartphones in the $200 price range to arrive with the Helio G85.

Two coretex-A75 cores manufactured at 14nm and clocked at 2ghz. Why do they even make these soc in 2020.
