MediaTek has unveiled an octa-core mobile platform, MT6592. The MediaTek MT6592 System on a Chip (SOC) combines an eight-core application processor with multimedia capabilities and mobile connectivity.
MediaTek MT6592 delivers premium gaming performance, multi-tasking and enhanced web browsing for high-end smartphones and tablets. It is expected to be available in devices running Android “Jelly Bean” by the end of 2013. MT6592 enabled mobile devices running Android “Kit-Kat” are expected in early 2014.
Building on the 28nm HPM high-performance process, the MT6592 has eight CPU cores, each capable of clock speeds up to 2GHz. The MT6592 features a multimedia subsystem with a quad-core graphics engine, video playback system supporting Ultra-HD 4Kx2K H.264 video playback and support for new video codecs such as H.265 and VP9, a 16-mega pixel camera and a Full HD display. The SOC also features MediaTek ClearMotion technology for automatic frame-rate conversion of standard 24/30fps video to high-quality 60fps video for significantly smoother playback
Jeffrey Ju, General Manager, Smartphone Business Unit, MediaTek, said, We are thrilled to offer the new MT6592 to our customers as part of our ongoing commitment to providing inclusive mobile technology. MT6592 delivers longer battery life, low-latency response times and the best possible mobile multimedia experience. Being the first to market with this advanced eight-core SOC is a testament to the industry-leading position of MediaTek.
