12-core mobile processor may appear to the end of the year

At the end of 2013 the company introduced the first MediaTek mobile processor, which employs eight cores simultaneously.However, this was not enough engineers - Chinese manufacturer is preparing new chipsets in which the number of cores will grow even stronger.

Company executives say a word about the new mobile processors, the next generation that will bring 10- and 12-core solutions to market. Analyst Song Xu Chang (Sun Chang Xu) called this technology "bomb", but did not disclose here that this "explosive" will in future processors. Given that this analyst working for the telecom market for almost 20 years and has a high degree of accuracy in the information supplied, it can be said that the processors will almost certainly by the end of 2015.

Importantly, the mobile chipset plays an important role, not only the number of cores and gigahertz and graphics accelerator fabrication process, as well as additional features and algorithms. Maybe it's time the company also work on additional modules in its flagship solution, for example, to support sophisticated sensors that allow manufacturers to significantly extend the functionality of smartphones in the future.

Recall after the launch of the first MediaTek processor with 8 cores and tightened it with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 615 in parallel at the same time claiming that the number of cores - it's a marketing ploy, and they had to make this chipset because of the Chinese market, where consumers are chasing the number of these same nuclei. Let's see how to react now an American manufacturer. 

Despite this statement, the constant development of technology, even markedly excessive buildup of computing power, and has a positive impact on the market. First of all, it makes manufacturers to reduce the margins by using simpler components, resulting in an increase in productivity of cheaper devices.

Will benefit 12 cores in a smartphone, we can find out if the company will cope with the production, by the end of this year. It is possible that the need to increase productivity associated with the desire to come to market MediaTek automotive systems, where soon will need considerably more serious computing power. So the Chinese company will be able to compete with Nvidia and Qualcomm on another market, prospects and whose willingness to offer such a solution reported in October last year.
