In addition to the integrated 4G LTE Multi-Mode modem, it also supports the new H.265 Ultra HD (4K2K) video record and playback, as well as support for Ultra HD video playback for for H.264 and VP9.

Other features include:
• 20 megapixel camera capability and a high-definition WQXGA (2560 x 1600) display controller
• MediaTek ClearMotion for smooth video playback at 60fps
• MediaTek MiraVision technology for DTV-grade picture quality
• support for WiFi 802.11ac, Bluetooth LE and ANT+ for ultra-low power connectivity with fitness tracking devices
• support for Multi-standard inductive and resonant wireless charging

The MT6595 platform will be commercially available by the first half of 2014, with devices expected in the second half of the year.

MediaTek introduces world’s first True Octa-Core CPU

MediaTek, a Taiwanese semiconductor company, has recently introduced the “world’s first True Octa-Core” processor for mobile devices.

To give you a quick recap, the term octa-core in mobile was recently made popular by the I9500 variant of the Samsung Galaxy S4 which uses an Exynos 5 Octa CPU. However, the Exynos 5 Octa can only run four cores at a time and not all eight. MediaTek’s new processor, on the other hand, utilizes all eight cores at the same time, tagging itself as a true octa-core solution.

The MediaTek True Octa-Core SoC promises to deliver increased performance and power-efficiency by allowing all eight cores to operate independently and flexibly.

Here are the following benefits of the True Octa-Core according to MediaTek:

Advanced web browsing: With the unique ability to allocate individual browser tabs to CPU cores, MediaTek True Octa-Core allows for a faster, more stable web browsing experiences.

Smoother user interfaces: With the ability to delegate user inputs to individual cores and render 3D effects more smoothly, the functionality and appearance of user interfaces in both applications and operating systems are significantly enhanced.

Superior gaming experiences: The advanced multi-threaded programming deployed in the MediaTek True Octa-Core, enables different sequences to be allocated to different cores, delivering enhanced video frame-rate processing and exceptionally low-latency gaming experiences.

Efficient video playback: When on decoding mode, the battery used for decoding HEVC (H.265) FHD video can be reduced by up to 18 percent compared to current quad-core solutions. While on display mode, MediaTek True Octa-Core provides users 20 percent more frames.

Official technical specs and date of arrival of MediaTek’s new CPU is yet to be released.
