With Mediatek already having launched the Helio X20 and Helio X25, rumours have moved on to the Mediatek Helio X30 culminating in these purported details.
According to new sources and Chinese media reports today, the next Mediatek processor that the Taiwanese company hope to dominate with is the Helio X30, a successor to the Helio X20 and X25 which only officially launched earlier this month.
Sources say that the Mediatek Helio X30 will adopt a new TSMC 10nm FinFET manufacturing processor and the test samples will be ready in June while mass production won’t begin until the end of the year, with the first X30 phones not expected until early 2017.

In addition to the new manufacturing process, the Mediatek Helio X30 will feature a tai-cluster of A53 and A57 cores topping out with 2 x 2.8Ghz A53 cores (the top end Helio X20/X25 tops out at 2.5Ghz).
The changes should see increased performance but sources say we might see power consumption drop by as much as 50% compared to the X20/X25.
Changes are also expected to the graphics with a 4 core PowerVR 7XT series GPU used, we should also see the Helio X30 upgraded to support up to 26 mega-pixel cameras, dual main cameras, VR and LTE cat 13.
While this all sounds quite exciting, keep in mind that we still have the rest of 2016 to go until these first Helio X30 phones hit shelves.
Ha ha ha ha, the X20 and the X25 officially checks out…… long wait ahead for the MediaTek fanboys. And we know what will happen to the MediaTek FLAGSHIP with 20 cores in 2017……….. ha ha ha ha
Maybe a clock speed bump to the X35 will gain a little PR traction for them, like this year’s X25 over and above the X20!
This happens with every company. The SD830 leaked back in January before the 820 was even out. But as a Qualcomm fanboy you must have missed that one.

This info is pretty salty, no way are they making A57 when they already have A72 in the X20/25. I also don`t think they`ll use PowerVR graphics(although I would love that) as their license is more expensive than Mali.
Remember the mtk X10 has a PowerVR GPU and even if its old it really does a great job running 2K 6″screen and I DO play all they crazy heavy games and stuff and it performs very nicely.
That’s why I said I would love a PVR GPU inside it, their core/performance ration simply can`t be beat as a 4-6 Cluster easily outpaces Malis 8 Cluster design.
