Industry insiders are now saying that the 8-core MTK MT6599 / MTK6599 could be released as early as May 2013.
Along with this MTK MT6599 / MTK6599 tidbit, there is the additional rumor “confirmed by multiple insiders” that a smartphone with MTK MT6589 / MTK6589 will be released by TCL inside of 2012 – with ZTE, Huawei, Lenovo to follow in Q1 2013.
This issue has seesawed back and forth a couple times. One thing we can bet on is that within the next few months we’ll see smartphones with MTK MT6589 / MTK6589 released. As to the MTK quad-core Q4 2012 and MTK eight-core in Q2 2013 – we’ll have to wait and see.
