MediaTek launches 64-bit octa-core chip for Android devices

 Chip maker MediaTek has announced MT6795, a 64-bit 'true octa-core' LTE smartphone System on Chip (SoC) with support for a 2K display. The company claims the new SoC is the first chip to support 2K displays.

MediaTek uses the term 'true octal core' to suggest that all cores of the processor are capable of running at the same time.

MediaTek's flagship smartphone SoC is targeted at makers of high-end devices, especially the ones who intend to transition to the 64-bit Android device market.

The company says that MT6795 is set to be the first 64-bit 4G LTE True Octa-core SoC running up to 2.2GHz to hit the market.

The SoC features MediaTek's CorePilot technology that offers enhanced multi-processor performance and thermal control, as well as dual-channel LPDDR3 clocked at 933MHz for high-end memory bandwidth in a smartphone.

The SoC also features high-end multimedia subsystems including support for 120Hz displays and the capability to create and playback 480 frames per second (fps) 1080p full-HD, super-slow motion videos through the phone's camera. Most cameras support 120 frames per second in the slow motion mode.

The MT6795 SoC will also feature support for Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth, FM radio, GPS and Glonass connectivity options.

The first phones to feature the processor will commercially launch in Asia by end of 2014 with other markets getting the devices by 2015.

Earlier this year, Huawei had also unveiled its first 64-bit octa-core chip. However, the processor is based on big.LITTLE architecture and only four cores run at a time.

Apple ignited the 64-bit mobile processing war with the launch of iPhone 5S, which featured its new A7 chip with 64-bit architecture.
