MediaTek Touches 150Mbps Down

Mediatek is building a 64-bit octa-core smartphone chip, as it competes against Qualcomm. The MT6752 will be in smartphones shipping by the end of Q2. All eight cores are based on ARM’s Cortex A53 architecture and clocked at 1.5GHz.

The chip supports Open GL ES 3.0 and Open CL 1.2, as well as 1920 x 1080 (at 60fps) video rendering and H.264/HEVC 1920 x 1080 (30fps) playback.

Finally, the processor supports TD-LTE, FDD-LTE Cat. 4 networks – theoretically enough to reach 150Mbps download speed.
