More speed for mobile devices: Mediatek introduces eight-core processor for LTE smartphones

Quad-core smartphones in? That was yesterday. After Qualcomm has submitted with its Snapdragon 805, Mediatek MT6595 has followed suit with the octa-core. The new chip is 2014.

Four cores was yesterday: Mediatek brings 2014 Octa-core processor for smartphones.

D he goes Temporausch in smartphones in the next round. Already in 2014 the Mediatek MT6595 brings processor for smartphones. He is like the recently introduced Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 with Adreno 420 GPU also bring videos in ultra-high resolution 4K format ("Ultra HD") on the display, has to, however, eight real cores and uses a different graphics processor ( ARM Mali-450 ).

More power, better graphics
The MT6595 is the benchmark for smartphones are again a good bit higher than quad-core models usual. Back in July, some features of the new top-processor leaked: So shall it eight A7 processor cores potter, with a processor speed of at most 2.2 GHz. As a graphic department of the chips, the ARM GPU paints "Mali-450" videos in popular formats H.264 and H.265 on mobile phone display. The chip supports camera sensors up to 16 megapixels . LTE on the chip to ensure the connection to the network, but wireless seems only in the n standard to be possible according to the information available, but also on the less trouble-prone 5-GHz band. The more ingredients list reads like a wish Concert: GPS function for location services and navigation? Available.Miracast for wireless playback of mobile content about on TV? Tick ​​it off, he has. Even an FM radio function is enhalten.
What is missing?

Wi-Fi in the n standard is indeed very beautiful, but soon will router take with ac-Fi power in the apartments. And first mobile devices are already prepared for the new standard, such as the iPad Air Furthermore, waiting for the smartphone world eagerly for processors that are less power thirsty: Even Mediatek shirks a statement for consumption, only mentions that the MT6595 power consumption to optimize with an extended-clocking algorithm. From a reduction Mediatek so does not speak.

Conclusion: MT6592

Quite a few experts are wondering what sense has the pace overkill of an eight-core processor. Because already clocked at 1.2 gigahertz dual-core processor in the phone is hardly auszureizen in everyday use. Apart from that: The Ultra-HD video capabilities of the new processor can not be exploited by conventional smartphone mice cinemas.
