MediaTek's mid-range 5G SoC will built on the 7nm node

It's not the first time we hear about MediaTek's plans to bring 5G to the masses, but we now have a bit more info surrounding the planned 5G-enabled mid-range SoC to work with.

According to a reputable leakster on Weibo, MediaTek's plan to release an affordable 5G SoC in 2020^[1] is quite ambitious. In fact, 5G doesn't sound nearly as impressive as its other specs like 7nm FinFET manufacturing process and Cortex-A76 main cores for high performance.

The company will use its own Helio M70 5G-enabled modem supporting SA/NSA dual-mode network and the best part is that the chipset will be aimed at phones costing around 2,000 CNY, which roughly translates to $280. That's going to be quite impressive if MediaTek pulls it off.
