MediaTek's regularly increase the number of cores in their processors ,the processor MediaTek Helio X20 has ten cores.
According to comments from MediaTek, which were received in the days of Computex 2015. First of all, the developer intends to cooperate with TSMC processor not only in the 16-nm technology, but also to reach the 10-nm process technology. However, if one of the competitors TSMC will be able to offer more attractive conditions and decent production volumes, MediaTek can think about and work with them.
But rumors of intent to release soon a processor with 16 cores MediaTek deny. However, the processor Helio X20 will find application in other products of the company. This does not mean that MediaTek will never release a processor with the number of cores in excess of ten pieces - a company does not see the need to do so in the near future.
