1. MediaTek Helio X30 Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 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.
  2. This is the Mediatek Helio X30 Smartphone Processor - the Fastest Mobile SOC in the world for 2015-2016!Join The Squad: https://www.youtube.com/subscription.
  3. I think Helio X30 will defeat 820 easily, like as Helio X20 vs 810 in the benchmark score, and the management between the cores in the processor, Helio is smarter than snapdragon, you can see some.

We compared the 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (Adreno 540) with the newer 10-core MediaTek Helio X30 (PowerVR GT7400 Plus) SoC. Here you will find the pros and cons of each chip, technical specs, and comprehensive tests in benchmarks, like AnTuTu and Geekbench.

Helio P60 Octa-Core Processor Powerful performance, maximum operational speed. Working in tandem with 8GB RAM, MediaTek Helio P60 Octa -core pro-vides faster performances while produces significant power -saving performance. Paired with 128GB/256GB of storage, it allows you to work more, play more, share more and at the same time plug in less. Helio P60 Octa-Core Processor Powerful performance, maximum operational speed.
