Most smartphones from leading brands are still working on the base of four core processors. The only exception is China, where local manufacturers are actively moving to eight-core solutions. This was possible largely due to MediaTek company , which is one of the first introduced eight core chips for mobile devices. And now it is developing new solutions for smartphones and tablets.
Do you think that eight cores too much for a mobile device? But in MediaTek think differently. Moreover, the company confirms that it is now working on a ten and 12 core mobile processors, which can appear as early as this year.
I must say that Qualcomm company , unlike MediaTek, focused on the application of more powerful cores in their mobile solutions.
