Taiwanese fabless semiconductor company MediaTek on Tuesday launched Helio G90 and G90T — its first dedicated gaming chipsets.

Both system-on-chips (SoCs) are paired with MediaTek’s HyperEngine game technology that is touted to deliver an enhanced gaming experience on smartphones.

The new platforms utilize an octa-core combination of two Arm Cortex-A76 cores and six Cortex-A55s alongside the Mali-G76 GPU. Both the G90 and G90T are built on TSMC’s 12 nm FinFET process and can be clocked up to 2.05GHz. In addition, the new SoCs support up to 10GB LPDDR4X RAM.

The chipsets are designed through involvement of the MediaTek India team, though both will be available for smartphones globally.

The Helio G90 series also have octa-core CPU, paired with ARM Mali-G76 3EEMC4 GPU. The Taiwanese company claimed that the combination delivers up to 1TMACs (TeraMAC) performance.
