The MediaTek Helio G95 has the same CPU and fabrication process like that of the Helio G90T. The processor has the same LPP 12NM fabrication processor along with a 2+6 distribution; there are two performance cores and six efficiency cores (2x Cortex-A76 cores @ 2.05GHz and 6x Cortex-A55 cores @ 2.0GHz) just like the Helio G90T and the clock speed also being the same. Even though the clock speed and the cores technology are exactly like that of the Helio G90T, the company has claimed a 5% better CPU score in the AnTuTu scores.

Coming to the GPU performance, it comes with Arm Mali-G76 MC4 GPU. The clock speed is increased to 900Mhz whereas it is just 820MHz in the Helio G90T. When compared, it has a better and 8% improved GPU score in the Manhatten 3.0 benchmarks. For connectivity, it includes CAT-12 4G LTE world mode modem, that supports dual 4G VoLTE and 4G data, which supports speeds up to 600Mbps download and 150Mbps upload.

Helio G95 supports 64MP primary sensor with a quad camera setup. While on the camera specs, it offers LPDDR4x memory support that can handle up to 10GB RAM. Looking at the AnTuTu scores, Helio G95 has a score of 30000 points which is really impressive.

A few of the technologies of MediaTek that has been equipped in the chipset are Tiny Sensor Hub, CorePilot, NeuroPilot, Pump Express. However, personally for me the best part of the Helio G90T is the gaming enhancement and it is called MediaTek HyperEngine. This was seen for the very first time in Helio G90T chipset itself and this turned ended up setting the bar for gaming chipsets extremely high. Let’s look into some of the properties of HyperEngine.

• Intelligent Performance Control that offers lag-free and fluid gaming experience to the user.

• Dual Wi-Fi Connections to connect to two Wi-Fi bands simultaneously that makes sure to never lose connection.

• Call & Data Concurrency to prevent the incoming calls meddling with your gaming.

• Rapid Response Engine to offer really accurate & lag-free touchscreen input.

• Intelligent Network Prediction Engine to offer the best network connection.

• Excellent Picture Quality offering impressive visuals and brilliant graphics during your gameplay.

• Quicker framerates and smoother gameplays with no lag.

With the MediaTek Helio G95, the brand id bringing enhanced HyperEngine Game Technology to the G95. With this upgrade, Helio G95 will offer seamless gameplay and a highly responsive user experience. In fact, with the Helio G95, MediaTek promises a smooth and lag-free connection during gaming that triggers in just 13 milliseconds.

In terms of benchmarks, Helio G95 offers up to 5 percent improvement over the G90T. Adding to that, the Helio G95 also has a 8% higher score, at 52fps, compared to its predecessors on the GPU Manhattan 3.0 benchmark that measure graphics performance.

Bottom line, MediaTek Helio G95 comes across as the best 4G gaming chipset. With its features and the properties, it is a solid contender in the smartphone chipset market.
