MediaTek Announces the MT6595, the World's First 4G LTE Octa-Core Smartphone SOC with ARM Cortex-A17 and Ultra HD H.265 Codec Support
MediaTek CorePilot(TM) Heterogeneous Multi-Processing Technology enables outstanding performance with leading energy efficiency
HSINCHU, Feb. 11, 2014 /PRNNewswire/ -- MediaTek today announces the MT6595, a premium mobile solution with the world's first 4G LTE octa-core smartphone SOC powered by the latest Cortex-A17(TM) CPUs from ARM®.
The MT6595 employs ARM's big.LITTLE(TM) architecture with MediaTek's CorePilot(TM) technology to deliver a Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP) platform that unlocks the full power of all eight cores. An advanced scheduler algorithm with adaptive thermal and interactive power management delivers superior multi-tasking performance and excellent sustained performance-per-watt for a premium mobile experience.
Excellent Performance-Per-Watt
-- Four ARM Cortex-A17(TM), each with significant performance improvement
over previous-generation processors, plus four Cortex-A7(TM) CPUs
-- ARM big.LITTLE(TM) architecture with full-system coherency performs
sophisticated tasks efficiently
-- Integrated Imagination Technologies PowerVR(TM) Series6 GPU for
high-performance graphics
Integrated 4G LTE Multi-Mode Modem
-- Rel. 9, Category 4 FDD and TDD LTE with data rates up to 150Mbits/s
downlink and 50Mbits/s uplink
-- DC-HSPA+ (42Mbits/s), TD-SCDMA and EDGE for legacy 2G/3G networks
-- 30+ 3GPP RF bands support to meet operator needs worldwide
World-Class Multimedia Subsystems
-- World's first mobile SOC with integrated, low-power hardware support for
the new H.265 Ultra HD (4K2K) video record & playback, in addition to
Ultra HD video playback support for H.264 & VP9
-- Supports 24-bit 192 kHz Hi-Fi quality audio codec with high performance
digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) to head phone >110dB SNR
-- 20MP camera capability and a high-definition WQXGA (2560 x 1600) display
controller
-- MediaTek ClearMotion(TM) technology eliminates motion jitter and ensures
smooth video playback at 60fps on mobile devices
-- MediaTek MiraVision(TM) technology for DTV-grade picture quality
First MediaTek Mobile Platform Supporting 802.11ac
-- Comprehensive complementary connectivity solution that supports 802.11ac
-- Multi-GNSS positioning systems including GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, Galileo
and QZSS
-- Bluetooth LE and ANT+ for ultra-low power connectivity with fitness
tracking devices
World's First Multimode Wireless Charging Receiver IC
-- Multi-standard inductive and resonant wireless charging functionality
available
-- Supported by MediaTek's companion multimode wireless power receiver IC
"MediaTek is focused on delivering a full-range of 4G LTE platforms and the MT6595 will enable our customers to deliver premium products with advanced features to a growing market," said Jeffrey Ju, General Manager of the MediaTek Smartphone Business Unit.
Congratulations to MediaTek on being in a leading position to implement the new ARM Cortex-A17 processor in mobile device," said Noel Hurley, Vice President and Deputy General Manager, ARM Product Division. "MediaTek has a keen understanding of the smartphone market and continues to identify innovative ways to bring a premium mobile experience to the masses."
The MT6595 platform will be commercially available by the first half of 2014, with devices expected in the second half of the year.
