Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800
SoC might have finally met its match in the form of the
octa-core Mediatek MT6592.
Mediatek has been cropping up in
headlines concerning their next generation processors for the past
few days, but this latests
news/leak is by far the most exciting we have seen so far!
The image above comes from an internal Mediatek slide show where which claims that the
new MT6592 is capable of reaching
Antutu scores of 29,600! That’s edging in to Snapdragon 800 territory! What we find even more interesting (and exciting) though is the fact the
benchmarks were taken from a 1.7Ghz
CPU and the
MT6592 is capable of running at a full 2Ghz!
Mediatek will launch the
MT6592 8-core processor along with a few other
new chips later this year. For more Mediatek details take a look at the
2013-14 Mediatek roadmap here.
