Sony Xperia eight-core chip, possible end of the year news

MediaTek, Taiwan semiconductor maker, begins to gain weight in the market of smartphones and tablets by the growing demand for its processors to Chinese devices. This trend could be increased if it is confirmed that Sony is interested in incorporating the last of its processors, the MediaTek MT6592, on your next Sony Xperia. The attraction of the model would be assured since it would be setting a CPU with eight cores.

The recent news that prepares the launch MediaTek chip MT6592 has transcended markedly since knew that Sony would be interested in including said processor in some of its future models. And the resulting team would be a Sony Xperia with octa core processor, eight-core with a working frequency between 1.7 and 2 GHz

First real octa-core smartphones

The truth is that it would be the first chip with eight cores "real" because it would not be in a cluster, but independent cores.Thus snatch that media power has played with the Samsung when it releases its octa-core chip, the Exynos 5 Octa Samsunghas equipped the Samsung GT-i9500 Galaxy S4. However, away from the striking of the eight cores, the most important would be the performance that would be able to provide. According to preliminary data, this processor MediaTekMT6592 be able to offer a score of approximately 30,000 points as AnTuTu performance test.
If we compare these data with those obtained by the competition, understand the power that will be able to develop the Taiwanese chip. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S4 with Exynos 5 Octa recorded 26,000 points. The truth is that in terms of performance would be even with the Qualcomm Snapdragon chip 800. However, it is confirmed by the other specifications, among which include the power of the GPU, additional chips such as LTE modem connectivity or energy efficiency. Anyway, ARM architecture Cortex A7 manufacturing process promises 28 nanometers.
