MediaTek introduces the MT6753, a 64-bit true octa-core chip with full network connectivity
The other day, we told you that chip maker MediaTek was looking to break into the U.S. market. Today, it announced a new chip that could help it gain entry into many new markets, the MT6753. The 64-bit SoC will feature the Mali-T720 GPU to provide graphics for gaming and other content. The MT6753 offers eight cores based on ARM's Cortex A-53 architecture, making it a true octa-core chip with eight independent cores.
MediaTek's new chip offers full network connectivity which means it will work around the world. Among the laundry list of supported networks are TD-LTE, FDD-LTE cat. 4 (featuring data speeds as high as 150Mbps down and up), HSPA+, TD-SCDMA and EDGE. Additionally, the MT6753 is compatible with the CDMA2000 1x / EVDO Rev. A radio frequencies. It also will work with Miracast, Bluetooth 4.0 low energy and dual-band Wi-Fi.
MediaTek expects to start churning out the MT6753 by the end of this year's second quarter.
