Taiwanese chipmaker MediaTek has announced that its latest MT6595 ‘true’ octa-core processor has reached commercialization in India. The company said in an event today, that a wide range of LTE products in both the entry and mid-level ranges should be available in the market by the end of this year. This would be company’s first processor with 4G LTE support.
The new processor, which as the company claims scores 47,233 on benchmarking test AnTuTu utilizes ARM’s big.LITTLE architecture type with Mediatek’s homegrown CorePilot technology, allowing it to deliver Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP) as it utilizes all the eight cores of the processor. In a nutshell, it is more performance efficient and will eat less power for lunch.
Among several changes, the chip ships with an Advanced algorithm and adaptive thermal and interactive power management. It laces four ARM Cortex A17-cores, all of which have received performance upgrade over the last generation modules. The rest four are Cortex A7 processors. The processor have capacity for dual-channel DDR3 RAM.
The MT6595 SoC will also boost the graphics and network capability of the device. It comes packed with a 4G LTE multi-mode modem that supports FDD and TDD LTE with downloading rates going up to 150Mbps, and 50Mbps upload speed. It also supports DC-HSPA+ (42Mbits/s), TD-SCDMA and EDGE for legacy 2G/3G networks. On the multimedia front, it will support 4K video, ultra HD H.265 codec support, and 120 fps screen refresh, among others.
The company notes that this is a 32-bit capable RAM, and a 64-bit variant of it will be launched in the near future.
