It scored 162861 on AnTuTu, putting it in the same league as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 or the Snapdragon 710. The score was achieved with an unknown device running 6GB of RAM and Android 9 Pie. To compare, smartphones with Snapdragon 670 has scored around 150k on AnTuTu while the Snapdragon 710-powered phones like the Nokia 8.1 has scored around 170k. While the synthetic benchmark number mean little when it comes to actual performance, a high number on AnTuTu is often used by OEMs to market their devices. Furthermore, we have seen smartphones unfairly boosting benchmark scores to show performance higher than their rivals. Nevertheless, the Helio P90 touts two high-performance Cortex A75 cores clocked at 2.2GHz along with six high-efficiency Cortex A55 cores clocked at 2.0GHz. MediaTek claims a 4.6X boost in performance over the previous Helio P60 and Helio P70. The octa-core CPU is paired with a PowerVR GM 9446 GPU and a fast LPDDR4X memory controller. Between the eight cores of the CPU, an L3 RAM is shared. Furthermore, the Helio P90 has an in-built “AI accelerator” for enhanced image processing. On the other hand, the Snapdragon 670 is considered as the successor to the Snapdragon 660 that featured in a range of mid-range devices this year. It touts Kryo 360 CPU with a 15 percent performance boost over its predecessor and also features the company’s proprietary AI Engine. The Snapdragon 710 is positioned as a bridge between the mid-range 6-series Snapdragon chipsets and the flagship 8-series lineup. With maximum clock speed of 2.2GHz, the Snapdragon 710 also features the Kryo 360 CPU but comes with a better Adreno 616 GPU.   Related Links: MediaTek Helio P90 SoC with APU 2.0 AI architecture, up to 48MP camera support announced Google Pixel 3 Lite with Snapdragon 670 and 3.5mm audio jack leaks online Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 mobile platform with Kryo 360 cores unveiled
