Năm ngoái, Mediatek đã gợi mở về hai con chip di động mới sẽ ra mắt trong năm 2018. Đó là Helio P40 và Helio P70, dự kiến sẽ xuất hiện trong phân khúc smartphone tầm trung và cao cấp. Tuy nhiên thời điểm đó, thông tin về Helio P60 gần như không có.
Tuy đã giấu khá kín nhưng cuối cùng con chip Helio P60 vẫn lộ diện trong một bài đánh giá trên công cụ chấm điểm Geekbench mới đây. Kết quả đánh giá cũng tiết lộ, Helio P60 sẽ có mặt trên một sản phẩm trình làng tại MWC 2018 năm nay.
Thiết bị thử nghiệm có model MTK P60 MWC Demo sở hữu RAM 4GB và cài sẵn Android 8.1 Oreo. Con chip Helio P60 được tích hợp 8 nhân xử lý với tốc độ 1,99 GHz và hiệu suất xử lý ấn tượng.
Trong kết quả thử nghiệm đơn lõi, Helio P60 ghi được 1.524 điểm và điểm đa lõi là 5.871 điểm. Với những điểm số đạt được, Helio P60 gần như ngang bằng với con chip tầm trung Snapdragon 660 trên Vivo X20 và Xiaomi Mi Note 3.
Dù có hiệu năng xử lý ấn tượng nhưng chưa rõ các thông số khác liên quan đến GPU của Helio P60 có đủ sức so sánh với Snapdragon 660 hay không? Có lẽ chúng ta sẽ cần chờ tới vài ngày tới khi sản phẩm trang bị con chip này xuất hiện tại MWC 2018.
A 32-bit operating system can only support up to 4GB of RAM. 64-bit allows more than 4GB, giving increased performance. It also allows you to run 64-bit apps.
With integrated graphics you don’t need to buy a separate graphics card.
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
The clock speed of the graphics processing unit (GPU).
The fifth-generation wireless technology delivers higher speeds and lower latency than the previous, fourth-generation tech.
When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
DirectX is used in video games, with newer versions supporting better graphics and features. The latest version is DirectX 12 Ultimate, which includes support for ray tracing, mesh shaders, and variable rate shading (VRS).
OpenGL ES is used for games on mobile devices such as smartphones. Newer versions support better graphics.
Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.
Performance
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.
Using big.LITTLE technology, a chip can switch between two sets of processor cores to maximize performance and battery life. For example, when playing a game the more powerful cores will be used to increase performance, whereas checking email will use the less powerful cores to maximize battery life.
Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP) is a more advanced version of big.LITTLE technology. In this setup, a processor can utilize all cores at the same time, or just a single core for low-intensity tasks. This can provide powerful performance or increased battery life respectively.

Memory
It can support faster memory, which will give quicker system performance.
DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is the most common type of RAM. Newer versions of DDR memory support higher maximum speeds and are more energy-efficient.
The maximum amount of memory (RAM) supported.
This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
More memory channels increases the speed of data transfer between the memory and the CPU.
A higher version of eMMC allows faster memory interfaces, having a positive effect on the performance of a device. For example, when transferring files from your computer to the internal storage over USB.
Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.
Features
The system on a chip (SoC) has an integrated LTE cellular chip. LTE is capable of downloading at faster speeds than older, 3G technology.
This is the maximum download speed supported. In reality, the download speed will usually be lower, as it will be affected by other factors (such as your home/mobile network speeds).
This is the maximum upload speed supported. In reality, the upload speed will usually be lower, as it will be affected by other factors (for example your home/mobile network speeds).
A technology integrated into the processor to secure the device for use with features such as mobile payments and streaming video using digital rights management (DRM).
Multithreading technology (such as Intel's Hyperthreading or AMD's Simultaneous Multithreading) provides increased performance by splitting each of the processor's physical cores into virtual cores, also known as threads. This way, each core can run two instruction streams at once.
NX bit helps protect the computer from malicious attacks.
NEON provides acceleration for media processing, such as listening to MP3s.
Vector Floating-Point (VFP) is used by the processor to deliver increased performance in areas such as digital imaging.
