This SoC features an octa-core CPU that is divided into two clusters- a high-performance cluster and a power-efficient cluster. The high-performance cluster comprises four Cortex-A53 cores that are clocked at 2.3GHz, while the power-efficient cluster also consists of four Cortex-A53 cores that are clocked at 1.8GHz.
The Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 SoC also comes with an integrated IMGPowerVR GE8320GPU that operates at 680MHz.[14]
