Title: The Redmi Note 8 Pro is not a good choice for smartphone gamers
Post by: Redaktion on November 22, 2019, 20:57:01
In our review of the Note 8 Pro, the mid-range phone achieves convincing results in many areas, although despite or perhaps due to the MediaTek Helio G90T, it is not a gaming smartphone.

It's always been MP denoting the core number for Mali, don't know what MP stands for though.

Actually it would be a pleasant surprise if this could really match the Adreno in SD730.

I'm saying the GPU is clearly tagged as Mali g76 mc4 on Xiaomi official website (it has a more complex name but I can't seem to remember). So maybe just maybe,this is more powerful line up than the mp series. Xiaomi is also proposing that the GPU in the mtk g90t is more powerful than that in sd 730. Infact the GPU of the phone is on of its selling point.. perhaps this review needs a review.

I strongly suspect a typo on Xiaomi's side, there has been no "MC" in the history of Mali...
From the numbers it's generally on par with Adreno 618, it could exceed the Adreno in some tests but falls behind in others, in largely equal proportions.

It isn't be a typo. The same name is on a news letter pdf from mtk official site too. I don't think the idea of it being a new architecture of some sort or something like that is far fetched

I believe this is the actual name of the GPU. Mali-G76 3EEMC4

Interesting, if so this deserves some digging by Anandtech.

We were at the Helio G90T launch event.

So what's the difference between MC and MP?
Oh yeah, and I suggest updating the Mali page on Wikipedia  :)
