MediaTek Announces TRUE Octa-core Processor For Mobile Devices


            There has been talk of MediaTek coming up with a new octa-core chip, which should be seen in mobile devices by November. While the date for mass production stays unchanged, the company has officially introduced the new octa-core processor, codenamed MT6592.

            Samsung already has an Exynos 5 octa-core processor out in the market. But the reality of the chipset is another matter all together, as it makes use of ARM’s big.LITTLE architecture. This is basically a combination of two quad-core processors, the first being a Cortex A15 chip, which is bunched in with a power-efficient Cortex A7 CPU. This means that at any point in time, only one set of four cores will be active.

          The new MediaTek processor, however, stands out with the claim that it can make all eight cores work at the same time. This should give much better performance in terms of gaming, as well as other functions like Internet surfing, better video playback, as well as better battery performance. The company has also said that all eight cores can function well without the fear of overheating.

Enhanced multi-tasking capabilities




By allowing tasks to run concurrently with the use of multiple different cores, MediaTek True Octa-Core intelligently allocates processing power to where it is needed, both on a per-application and per-task basis. With MediaTek True Octa-Core, users can enjoy heavy web downloading, hardcore gaming, high-quality premium video viewing or other types of rigorous multitasking without experiencing lag times or excessive battery consumption.





Improved current-application experiences

Advanced web browsing:

With the unique ability to allocate individual browser tabs to CPU cores, MediaTek True Octa-Core allows for a faster, more stable web browsing experiences.

Smoother user interfaces:

With the ability to delegate user inputs to individual cores and render 3D effects more smoothly, the functionality and appearance of user interfaces in both applications and operating systems are significantly enhanced.

Superior gaming experiences:

The advanced multi-threaded programming deployed in the MediaTek True Octa-Core, enables different sequences to be allocated to different cores, delivering enhanced video frame-rate processing and exceptionally low-latency gaming experiences.

Efficient video playback:

When on decoding mode, the battery used for decoding HEVC (H.265) FHD video can be reduced by up to 18 percent compared to current quad-core solutions. While on display mode, MediaTek True Octa-Core provides users 20 percent more frames.
