Gizbeat has come across some official MTK flowcharts exhibiting a bit about how MTK6595 big.LITTLE will work. The technology which will govern the CPUs is called CorePilot.
The SoC everyone has been waiting for – MT6595 is scheduled to arrive in large volume in August 2014. The MT6595 will have an ARM Cortex-A17 CPU working in big.LITTLE configuration with Cortex-A7 and PowerVR G6200 GPU@600MHz.
The PowerVR G6200 will support OpenGL ES2.0/3.0 & DirectX10. The SoC will also have enough juice to smoothly playback H.265 UHD 4k video.
Beyond the exciting prospect of big.LITTLE, the big thing many are waiting for is LTE/4g. MT6595 promises modem compatibility with TD-LTE, FDD-LTE, HSPA+, TD-SCDMA and EDGE/GPRS.
The MT6595 SoC will support USB3.0, eMMC 5.0 and dual channel DDR3 memory.
Prior to the high volume release in August, there will be a mega news conference this month on the 15th. Though the volume release will not happen until August, first phones with MT6595 are expected to come this month.
