Reports have emerged that chip manufacturer
MediaTek are planning to put their
next generation quad-core MT6588
CPU in to
production as early as October!
Following on from the popularity of the dual-core
MTK MT6577
quad-core CPU which is found in literally hundreds of high-performance low-cost
Chinese phones, MediaTek have released plans they will be making a limited
production run of
quad-core MT6588 CPU's next month.
The limited run of these low-cost
quad-core CPU's will be headed to current phone manufacturers to try out in either
updated version of their current phones or possibly in all new
next generation quad-core devices!
The MedaiTek MT6588
quad-core CPU is designed to cope with cameras of over 10 mega-pixels, will support dual-sim
WCDMA and capture 1080p video.
With any luck we will be getting our first glimpses of next generation quad-core Chinese phones very soon!
