In an interview with Android Authority, Finbarr Moynihan, MediaTek's VP for corporate sales and business development revealed that it will be above the Helio P90. It will also sport a variety of machine learning hardware.

He also said that we will see more "high-end" capability than the P90. 

It is unclear though if it will be a part of the Helio X series. It is not clear if the chipset will come with built-in 5G or if it will be fused with the current M70 5G modem as well.

MediaTek previously revealed that they are working on a Cortex-A76 core base.
