MediaTek The threat is growing. A strength of innovation, the depth would be able to capture the attention of the merchant and Amazon could equip the next Kindle Fire its quad-core chip MT8135.
Chinese foundry continues definitely attract attention, sometimes for its ads may be too noisy for some tastes, sometimes because they find favor in the eyes of others. The latter case may relate in particular to the Amazon merchant who would move it (a big) in order to equip the next Kindle Fire one of its chips, according to the publication Taiwanese Economic Daily News .
someone accustomed to dealing with unknown Chinese manufacturers, MediaTek is, however, already managed to convince some big names such as Sony, Acer and LG but only to equip their devices more affordable and insignificant. I must say that its main selling resided until recently in the very cheap price of its processors. This probably also explains the choice of the Amazon merchant who obviously did not opt ??for the power of the chip to eight cores of depth, but for some MT8135.
late last month that was announced this new processor based on a quad-core configuration big.LITLLE. It thus consists of two Cortex A15 CPU cores with a maximum frequency of 1.7 GHz and two Cortex A7 CPU cores with a maximum frequency of 1.2 GHz. Nothing new in either since Samsung has broken the hearts of his eight Exynos 5 Octa Similarly, while Nvidia already used a similar setup last year. A difference a loan. If some resource-intensive tasks will not call as less powerful of these four hearts for the sake of saving energy, the most demanding tasks can take advantage of all hearts simultaneously.
In addition, the chip also includes promising GPU PowerVR G6200 supposed to show 15% faster than the Mali T604 found for example on Google Nexus 10 and Samsung. In other words, it would be the best compromise between power / autonomy exists today, in addition to offering a quality probably unbeatable value.
MT8135 and allow Amazon to keep a relatively low price for its next tablet while offering decent performance, and probably better than its main competitors: the Nexus 7 (2013). MediaTek benefit from his side of visibility that could enable it eventually to form as strong as the most renowned Qualcomm, Nvidia and Samsung reputation. Both could therefore be winning this bet a little risky.
next Kindle Fire is expected before the end of the year, then that would contradict this latest rumor. Indeed, the production of SoC MT8135 begin this month only for marketing in early 2014 …
