MediaTek's record 480fps slow motion recording gets a BMX stunt promo video
MediaTek has a monster of a mobile chipset incoming, the MT6795, and issued a promo video touting its virtues. It is an octa-core endeavor, with up to 2.2 GHz clock speeds, and the cores are arranged in ARM's big.LITTLE configuration. MediaTek doesn't cite the cores architecture, but, given that it is a 64-bit processor, the MT6795 probably flaunts ARM's Cortex-A57 cores.
The powerful silicon has other tricks up its sleeve, too, such as 2K display support, 120MHz refresh rate, and ClearMotion technology, but perhaps the most impressive of its abilities is the slow-motion video support.
MediaTek's MT6795 is apparently the world's first smartphone SoC that can capture 1/16-speed video, and the company's BMX stunt video below comes to demonstrate 1080p slow-mo recording with the impressive 480fps. Check it out, as between this one, Snapdragon 810, and Samsung's new 14nm Exynos, the mobile chipset war has never been that heated as this year.
