Mediatek is calling their 8-core MTK6592 the first ‘true synchronized octacore chip’. They can claim this because Samsung’s Exynos 8-core SoC is actually 2 quad-core CPUs. One a high-powered ARM a15 set for when running CPU intensive operations, and the other a less power-hungry ARM a7 set reserved for when you’re doing less CPU intensive things.
