First-out of artificial intelligence, MediaTek launches 8-core 12nm P22 chip

On May 23, 2018, MediaTek today announced the launch of a smart phone platform for the mainstream market - MediaTek Helio P22, the first to bring 12nm advanced technology and AI applications to mobile phones at affordable prices. On. The P22 will further expand the MediaTek P-series product portfolio to meet the growing demand of the super mid-range market.

Prior to this, the 12nm artificial smart phone chip released by MediaTek at the beginning of this year, the Pelikan P60, has been adopted by many customers including OPPO and VIVO in China, India and Southeast Asia. Based on the success of Pili's P60, The P22 accelerates the AI ​​experience, outstanding camera functions, and reliable high-speed network connections to bring more consumers at more reasonable prices. 'Our latest generation of P60 chip has aroused strong response in the market. Exceeding our expectation. The continuous increase in customer demand and the consumer's desire to obtain innovative and outstanding product consumption trends at more affordable prices indicate that our strategy to focus on the super mid-range market with the P-series is correct. ' MediaTek Li Zonglin, General Manager of Wireless Communications Division, said: 'The P22's high-quality dual camera, AI enhanced experience and ultra-low power consumption, set a new benchmark in its class. We expect that in this market range, P22 will be able to get more customers to use, consumer groups will continue to grow. '

The P-22 uses TSMC's 12nm FinFET process technology, which is well known for its low power consumption. It has eight Arm Cortex A53 cores and a maximum clock speed of up to 2.0GHz. It is equipped with CorePilot 4.0 technology for intelligent management of various tasks to achieve perfect performance and power consumption. balance.

GPU uses PowerVR GE8320, frequency 650MHz, supports up to 1600x720 (20:9) screen resolution, supports 1080P 30FPS video playback.

Memory support LPDDR 3/4X, frequency up to 1600MHz, capacity up to 6GB, flash memory up to eMMC 5.1.

Camera side added AI face unlock, smart dual camera (13 million +8 million or single 21 million), etc., Netcom baseband, dual card dual 4G standby, down the highest Cat.7, transmission using Bluetooth 5.0 standard.

Thanks to Mediatek's NeuroPilot artificial intelligence technology, the P22 also provides users with an enhanced edge artificial intelligence (Edge AI) experience, such as support for face recognition, smart albums, single/dual camera depth of field AI camera. Brings hardware-driven dual camera cameras, supports 13 million + 8 million pixels and 30 frames per second for fast shooting capabilities, enables powerful hardware depth of field engine with low power consumption, provides real-time bokeh preview, and has reduced particles, Noise reduction, aliasing, color difference and other functions, can shoot clear images in all kinds of lighting conditions. Advanced 3A and MediaTek Camera Control Unit (CCU, Camera Control Unit) hardware, provides high-speed automatic exposure convergence, allowing users to Can quickly capture moving images. In addition, the P22 also supports 20:9 HD + (1600 x 720) full screen, brings a more beautiful and more comfortable screen perception. In the network connection, the P22 support dual card dual VoLTE , Both SIM cards can support fast 4G LTE connection, high-speed 802.11ac WiFi, latest Bluetooth 5.0 standard, and four-satellite global navigation and positioning system, providing faster, more efficient, and more Accurate local and global networking capabilities. MediaTek P22 is now in volume production. Terminal products are expected to be available in the second quarter of 2018.
