News: MediaTek Announces Octa-core Processors for Devices

As technology is speedily becoming an integral part of every day living. Mobile corporations, companies and manufacturers in the industry are continually stepping up their games.
Accompanying the need for faster and more tasking processors, MediaTek has officially announced the world’s first true octa-core processor.

The latest SoCs (Systems on Chip) allows all the eight cores to run at the same time(quite daunting but true), whereas Samsung makes use of only half of it’s CPU capabilities at once. The true octa-core processors offer you advanced web browsing smoother user interfaces, superior gaming exploits, enhanced video playback and improved user experience.
The MediaTek true octa-core processor allocates processing power to different cores on per-application and per-task basis that gives the ultimate multi-tasking experience. The newest addition to the MediaTek SoCs comes with advanced web browsing feature that has the unique ability to allocate individual browser tabs to CPU cores.

The processor also has the ability to delegate user input to individual cores and renders 3D effects more smoothly and enhances the user interface. The advanced multi-threaded programming deployed by MediaTek enables different sequences to be allocated to different cores, delivering enhanced video frame-rate processing and exceptionally low-latency gaming experiences.
Finally, the octa processor has an efficient video playback feature that reduces that battery consumed when decoding HEVC FHD video by up to 18% when compared to the current quad-core processors. The octa-core solution also provides 20% more frames while on display mode. Unfortunately, actual word on the launch date and the specifications of the true octa-core processors.
