MediaTek works on platforms with Cortex A72 processor

[-INTOX-]

Chinese ultra-mobile chip maker MediaTek has been working on a new series of platforms based on the ARM Cortex A72 core for some time. Already presented the MT8173 solution for tablets, and now we find that it is also preparing a model for smartphones.

The new platform from MediaTek is going to be very powerful. It is desired a technological process of 20 nm or 16 nm FinFET but it is not certain which of the two will be used. If you opt for the 16 nm then the platform will be 3.5 times faster than the 28 nm with the A15 processor and 1.9 times faster than the 20 nm and the A57 processor.

In the GPU chapter MediaTek started a collaboration with AMD, to replace the Mali and powerVR models with AMD Radeon chips. But it is too early to see the fruits of this agreement, so these Cortex A72 CPUs will most likely be accompanied by the GPUs that the Chinese manufacturer has become accustomed to.
