The Helio X10: A Powerful Android Processor

There is a little bit of physics and 2D motion going on here, apart from that this is a very simple game and so as you would expect especially on a 1080p panel this is running totally fine literally any 2D title will be absolutely pasted by the x10 it poses no challenge at all. So for those of you who are familiar with mobile architecture the x10 otherwise known as the mt6795 actually runs eight simultaneous A57 cores making it a true octacore processor it can range anywhere from 1.8 GHz to 2.4 and contrary to Arms big little architecture in this situation all eight cores can be on at once although I have to say very few games actually utilize it especially to its full potential smashy Road an example of a solid 2.5d game with nice art aesthetics also runs flawlessly there is zero problems zero glitches and while this does somewhat depend on the optimization of the game you shouldn't find any problems at all here.

While to some people this won't be an issue at all the Helio X10 is built on the slightly older 28 nanom process compared to chips like the Snapdragon 810 which are built on the 20 nanom process what this means essentially is that they get less transistors in the same amount of space and so it's basically a little bit less efficient moving up the gaming ladder. We have Need for Speed and this is a brand new title just released on Android and alongside Asphalt 8 and Real Racing 3 this probably competes to be the best looking racing title on the system so it's obviously a pretty good test in terms of graphics and performance perance. It looks fantastic 1080p sharp crystal clear and very very smooth I was impressed at the way The Helio X10 handled this and in some cases on the redmi Note 2 which is the phone I'm using here it actually outperformed the OnePlus 2 a smartphone which costs more than twice as much and sports a Snapdragon 810 chip which is essentially made for much higher end smartphones.

One thing which really struck me after spending quite a while with The Helio X10 is how consistently it performs and it consistently performs well whereas with chips like the Snapdragon 810 or the Snapdragon 808 or basically any other chip which adopts a big little architecture where it has to kind of switch between cores it seems to be that this is just not quite optimized to the best that it could be and so those phones even though they are technically on paper more powerful they just don't quite live up to expectations whereas the x10 is very very simple in architecture it's just eight cores that are just on all the time and they adjust frequency depending on when they're in demand and I think as a result of this it actually provides very smooth gameplay because when you're actually playing games you tend to notice the minimum frame rate just as much as you do the average and so there's much less frame rate dips on this.

So this will actually be a combination of both Xiaomi who spent time optimizing the chip and making sure that it runs well with its MIUI operating system as well as the chip itself which is obviously ensured that it can handle its thermal capability so it's not overheating and doesn't need to throttle back. Having said this now we're playing Modern Combat 5 which is possibly the most demanding game on the Android App Store it's really really up there and it looks gorgeous and to be honest it's playing very smoothly but by smoothly I don't necessarily mean at a solid 60 frames per second because it's not quite there it's probably hovering more around 40 to 50 but the reason it actually feels so smooth is because it's consistent if you have a 60 frame per second game which keeps dipping to sort of 10 FPS every now and again that will not feel as smooth as this does. This is still a really really playable experience it's very enjoyable to play and every now and again you may actually still see a lag on this for example if there's a huge explosion or all of a sudden a ton of enemies just appear on screen.

This is not a perfect processor by any means but it more than performs its price point this is appearing in devices costing just over £100 it's clearly not as capable as the Snapdragon 810 or the Exynos 7420 you know Market leaders at the minute but it's actually extremely consistent and it consistently delivers well. This is a really exciting processor and I can't wait to see where Mediatech goes with this what do you guys think do you own a smartphone or would you own a smartphone with this processor inside let me know in the comments below thanks for watching I'm Mr who's the boss and this is Insanely Cool Tech come on
