After quad, hexa and octa-core processors, Chinese chip-maker MediaTek has now unveiled a 10-core or deca-core processor in the form of the new Helio X20 (aka MT6797).We have seen the benchmarks and even a comparison against Qualcomm's best Snapdragon 810.
“By leading with mobile CPU architecture and multimedia innovation, MediaTek continues to push the envelope of power efficiency and peak performance. We are excited to see device manufacturers raise the bar — in camera, display, audio and other consumer features. MediaTek has been adding innovative multimedia features to our platforms since the very beginning, enhancing the overall computing and multimedia experience as part of our strategy to put leading technology into the hands of everyone,” said Jeffrey Ju, Senior Vice President of MediaTek.

The new processor follows big.Medium.LITTLE arrangement with three core-clusters in the Helio X20 – two A72 cores running at 2.5GHz, four A53 cores running at 2.0GHz and four A53 cores running at 1.4GHz. It also packs a single Cortex-M4 co-processor for the lower-power needs like gathering constant data from sensors and always-on voice-controls.
