MediaTek debuts MT6595 for 4G LTE Platforms

MediaTek has announced a premium mobile solution, MT6595 with the world’s first 4G LTE octa-core smartphone SOC powered by the latest Cortex-A17 CPUs from ARM.
 
The MT6595 employs ARM’s big.LITTLE architecture with MediaTek’s CorePilot 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.
 
Jeffrey Ju, General Manager of the MediaTek Smartphone Business Unit, said, "MediaTek is focussed 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."
 
"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 & Deputy General Manager, ARM Product Division.
 
The MT6595 platform will be commercially available by the first half of 2014, with devices expected in the second half of the year.
