When it comes to MediaTek, people know it because of its low cost mobile processors powering the smartphones of emerging world. You wouldn't hear the name too often if you don't live in Aisa. Most of the high end phones use processors made by Qualcomm so its quite understood if you haven't heard the name in the West. But MediaTek is the chip manufacturer that first ever brought to the world the True OctaCore Processor..
MediaTek at a press event today has announced a new processor that is quite worthy to grab your attention. The new chip in MediaTek's army, the MT6795 is a beast of performance and power that can set Qualcomm to break out in cold sweat.
The MT6795 is an Octacore processor much like the MT6592 except for the performance part. It will have four 2.2 Ghz cores for intensive tasks and four 1.7 Ghz cores for normal utilities. It will be working on ARM's big.LITTLE architecture, uses heterogenous multi-processing and it comes packed with PowerVR Series 6 GPU to bring in intensive graphics. It as well has a dual channel LPDDR3 clocked at 993MHz for top end memory bandwidth in a smartphone.
The MT6795 is capable of handling screen resolutions upto 1600*2560 pixels that are used on most high end tablets these days. So it can easily handle the 2k (thats 1440*2560) displays on phones at 120Hz too. It also supports camera sensors upto 20 MP and 4k video recording or else you can choose a 1080p resolution for recording at 480 fps. It can be set upto a frequency of about 2.2 Ghz. Talking about benchmarks may not be worthy as more and more OEMs try to crank up benchmark tests by software enhancements if lets just take a look. It is also said to be the first Octacore SoC with LTE built in.
All this being said, MediaTek has still to work a lot on making its source code open to developers. So this might just not be the time when more developers and expensive devices start using MediaTek chips. After all, developers can't live without tinkering their gadgets.
This maybe MediaTek's perfect chance to make a dent in Android One program and get itself included as an official partner for Android One phones.
