SoC


Cube have been doing quite well over the past 12 months with their range of “Talk” tablets, low-cost 3G enabled tablets which allow for voice calls. The next in the range will be an octacore model using the latest Mediatek octacore SoC.

With on going pressure from Qualcomm and their Snapdragon 410 LTE processor, Mediatek are rumoured to be bringing their own 64-BIT LTE chipset to MWC.

Mediatek have just officially announced their octacore MT6595 processor, their first processor with built-inn 4G LTE support.

After India’s Micromax, China’s Ramos is up for the task when it comes to dual-boot tablets, with the Ramos i10 Pro.

Earlier this year Mediatek launched the 8-core MT6592 for smarpthone use, and now Android tablets are going to receive some octa-core goodness with the new 8-core MT8392 chipset.

Mediatek unleashed their 8-core MT6592 processor on the world today, and were not shy about posting Antutu scores of over 32,000 points!

There has been a lot of talk about Mediatek’s 8-core MT6592, with many claiming it is just not needed on a mobile device, however this may not be true as game developers Gameloft are already announcing new games will be optimised for the powerful new SoC.

After announcing another record quarter Mediatek have also let slip plans for their affordable SoC range of next year.

The test device, running Android v4.3, shows the upcoming chipset running at 2.5GHz along with the lastest-gen Adreno GPU – the Adreno 420. The GPU is expected to operate at 500MHz and have a 10% faster pixel fill rate than the current Adreno 330.

Meidatek have a number of new processors ready to take the Chinese phone industry by storm and one mystery SoC is already in testing as seen here in leaked Antutu results.

MediaTek and ARM have signed a deal allowing the Taiwanese chip maker to use ARM’s Cortex A50 processors and ARM Mali Graphics chips.

Taiwanese chip maker Mediatek, who have risen from the ranks of cheap knock-off phones to high end devices from Xiaomi, Sony and others, posted their Q3 earnings today showing an impressive 17% increase in sales.

Xiaomi co-founder Liwan Jiang has taken to Sina Weibo to confirm that the Nvidia Tegra 4 version of the Xiaomi Mi3 will go on sale on October 15th!

Mediatek must have impressed someone at Samsung, as reports are coming in that the Korean Android giant is planning to adopt the latest 8-core SoC the Taiwanese company.

With 4G LTE ready to go mainstream in China, Chinese phone makers need a low-cost 4G LTE solution and Mediatek have one with the MTK6290.
