MediaTek has always offered extremely affordable processors with decent specs, but this time around it looks like they’re trying to one-up nearly every other player in the mobile processor industry. Many people knows Samsung launched their international Galaxy S 4 with an octa-core Exynos processor, but it wasn’t true 8-core processing; only 4 cores could be in use at once, and they traded off depending on how intensive the current task was. MediaTek, however, has reportedly developed a full 8-core CPU and has already shown the CPUs to some partners and is planning on putting them in mass production by November and shipping them in devices by the start of 2014.
AnTuTu benchmarks put this CPU around the 30,000 score range. It can’t hang with Qualcomm’s latest offerings, but it also likely won’t cost as much as a high-end Snapdragon chip, either. Supposedly, MediaTek also has an LTE solution in the works that’s set to be launched in Q4 of this year, so we may also see that alongside this new processor. We won’t have to wait too much longer either way.
