At the continued Computex Taipei 2019, MediaTek has unveiled its new 7nm 5G SoC for flagship smartphones slated for launch in 2020.
The new MediaTek 5G SoC shall be sampling within the third quarter of 2019, and is anticipated to energy industrial units that may hit retailer cabinets by the primary quarter of 2020, the corporate indicated. Full specs and official naming of the MediaTek 5G SoC shall be launched within the coming months, the corporate added.
Nevertheless, MediaTek offered a primary overview of the chip specs together with its Helio M70 5G modem and most superior AI processing unit (APU) inbuilt, but additionally Arm’s latest Cortex-A77 CPU and Mali-G77 GPU structure. The new 5G Soc can be constructed utilizing 7nm FinFET course of expertise, the fabless chipmaker disclosed.
The 5G SoC’s built-in Helio M70 modem helps LTE and 5G twin connectivity (EN-DC) with dynamic energy sharing functionality, plus multi-mode help for each mobile connectivity era from 2G to 5G, MediaTek famous. It options dynamic bandwidth switching expertise that allocates 5G bandwidth required for particular functions to enhance modem energy effectivity by 50 p.c and lengthen battery life.
MediaTek added it’s working with main mobile operators, gear makers and suppliers to confirm the market readiness of its 5G applied sciences for cellular and likewise for good houses and good vehicles. The MediaTek 5G SoC is designed for world Sub-6GHz 5G networks which might be launching all through Asia, North America and Europe.
Beyond the SoC, MediaTek can be working along with 5G RF element suppliers, system designers and worldwide mobile operators to carry a whole, standards-based and optimized 5G resolution to the market rapidly. Companies collaborating with MediaTek on RF expertise embody Oppo, Vivo and top-tier RF suppliers like Skyworks, Qorvo and muRata.
“Everything about this chip is designed for the first wave of flagship 5G devices. The leading-edge technology in this chipset makes it the most powerful 5G SoC announced to date and puts MediaTek at the forefront of 5G SoC design,” stated MediaTek president Joe Chen.
