Mediatek drives Casino tax Innovation

Smartphones have become an integral part of our lives, whether it is connecting with family and friends, enjoying music, taking pictures, shooting video, or exploring the wealth of information available on the internet. This has led to a thirst for ever-longer battery power and an efficient, smooth user experience.

Online Casino Players desire No limits
and No Taxes

Players in online casinos have a strong desire for fast payments and smooth play. In Germany players are now facing limits, like 5 seconds minimum per spin and even taxes - Steuer in German - for each spin. In order to avoid these a Online Casino ohne Steuer needs to be seeked out for, which is not too easy anymore on the German Online Casino market.

Designing a mobile device is no longer just about perfecting its computing power, design, and user interface; it's about doing all these things while driving far less power consumption and greater efficiency.

Introducing the online casino tax solution

Enter MediaTek Helio™ X20 - the world’s first mobile processor with Tri-Cluster™ CPU architecture and ten processing cores (Deca-core). Delivering extreme computing performance and therefore Casinos ohne Steuer are possible. New Steuer regulations in Germany for Online Casinos make this necessary. However, the casino operators without these regimes are performing much better.

Helio X20 provides three processor clusters, each designed to more efficiently handle different types of workloads. Much like adding gears to vehicles, dividing the cores into three clusters provides a more efficient allocation of tasks for optimum performance and extended battery life.

It can delegate simple tasks to one cluster of cores, while directing more-complex (and more-power-hungry) tasks to the other clusters. If the smartphone is doing only simple tasks - such as sending text messages or running the calculator - on one cluster, the other clusters can power down, and therefore drive smoother performance and extended battery life.

Key features and performance

MediaTek Helio™ X20 delivers state-of-the-art camera, display, gaming, and audio features for today’s most demanding apps.

The Helio X20 introduces dual main cameras and features a built-in 3D depth engine as well as multi-scale de-noise engines, for faster response time between shots and unprecedented detail, color, and sharpness, even under extreme conditions.

Display is refreshed at an accelerated 120 frames per second for crisp and responsive scrolling of web content and maps, and uncompromised motion viewing supporting mobile games with high-resolution graphics.

A sensor hub on the embedded ARM Cortex-M4 processor operates on an isolated, low-power domain to support diverse always-on applications, such as MP3 playback and voice activation.

Meet the rest of The MediaTek Helio™ family

The MediaTek Helio™ series is MediaTek’s flagship mobile processor family, targeting the high-end market segment. Helio consists of two ranges, Helio X and Helio P, which both integrate leading heterogeneous computing technology with advanced multimedia innovations. Helio X is focused on uncompromised multimedia performance backed by state of the art mobile computing. The Helio P is a range of premium performance chips that provides optimized battery for high-end features in super slim smartphone designs.
