Helio P90 We compared two 8-core processors: Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 (with Adreno 610 graphics) and MediaTek Helio P90 (PowerVR GM9446). Here you will find the pros and cons of each chip, technical specs, and comprehensive tests in benchmarks, like AnTuTu and Geekbench. Where the Helio P90 starts to grab attention is from its built-in AI or APU 2.0 (Application Processing Unit). Any AI related functionalities will be handled by the APU, offloading the tasks from the CPU & GPU while increasing computational performance up to 4.6x over the previous P70 & P60. The MediaTek was just limited to Helio P90 which was a decent processor but was not for competing in the upper mid-range segment where the processors like the Snapdragon 730 and 730G, and Kirin 810 belong.
