The first eight-core SoC MediaTek - MT6592, which is expected for announcement in the current quarter, appeared in the benchmark AnTuTu. According to tests, clocked at 1.7 GHz, the industry's first eight-core CPU MediaTek scored 25496 points (note-this is the true eight-core, and not the concept of ARM big.LITTLE). According to the results, SoC MT6592 is located behind the 1.7-GHz Snapdragon 600 (platform smartphone HTC One), but slightly ahead of Qualcomm APQ8064 (Nexus platform 4).
First, SoC MediaTek MT6592 is based on the core ARM Cortex-A7, that just makes no sense to compare the performance with the core Samsung Exynos 5 Octa or Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 lines based on the architecture Cortex-A15. Of course they will be slower, because the main advantage of Cortex-A7 - is low power consumption and small dimensions of the crystal. Core area of the Cortex-A7 is about one-fifth of the area of core Cortex-A15, and even against the background of reduced consumption by about a quarter. This means that the CPU MediaTek will be significantly cheaper to produce than its bigger competitors.
Today, virtually no programs and benchmarks are an exception, which can correctly and in full, load all available in mobile computing core SoC. However, this also lies the hidden potential of eight-processor MediaTek. Showing a good result today, tomorrow they can significantly increase the performance with just one software optimization.
