According to tumor, Sony will be using the wuad-core processor Mediatek MT6589, with this processor Sony will be ready to compete in low budget phone but offers nice features.

The post Sony preparing new device which powered by MediaTek chipset? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Mediatek is one of domestic chipset manufacturer and now they already release the quad-core processor debut through MT6589 chipset but now thet ready to unveiled their new MT6589M, what’s the different with the predecessor?

Mediatek is preparing their secret weapon through the new MT6589M and ready to compete with Qualcomm. Today, the most domestic smartphone manufacturer has been release their products with Mediatek chipset since the Mediatek is offer low proce but offers maximum performance for smartphones and tablet devices.

In fact, MediaTek send the most common approach is to make the market think that their company is very bad, quite let advantage of this opportunity to make the taste, and then suddenly one day start large-scale release of more good news shipments Lee! In fact, MediaTek internal morale is very high, as competitors Qualcomm filing blanket “secret weapon upcoming scabbard. MediaTek is planning a big plan in the second half of this year is to take-all in mainland China in low-end mobile phone chip market.

With the price of mass destruction
Think that a quad-core chip MT6589 smart phone is the main product of this year, MediaTek, it was wrong! Because under the cover of the MT6589, MediaTek is working to produce more price destruction chip-MT6589M,. And focus MediaTek chip specifications, and other details remain confidential home, it shows the degree of attention. But in fact, MT6589M variant of the MT6589 can support a multimode WCDMA, TD SCDMA, and EDGE, but will be part of the functional specifications to come down, for example, MT6589 supports Full HD, but MT6589M only support HD.

And the maximum difference between the two is that the manufacturing cost. MT6589 and MT6589M on the wafer output, although all twenty-eight Nano, but former uses solder bump which bumps with studs process; addition, after the end of the bumping, MT6589 require the RDL, i.e. Line Re The fabric repair process, but MT6589M do not. Alone in this part of the foundry, the costs spread over three percent.

Aimed at the November holiday sales tide
In accordance with the outgoing message by the mainland’s mobile phone market, MT6589M the MT6589 light chip total manufacturing costs, the spread between the two at least fifteen percent to twenty percent; made public board, both priced at least can be poor to . The sharp cost advantage will be reaction on the price of the chip, MT6589M is the secret weapon of the second half of this year, MediaTek main. Moreover, the industry also reported, Qualcomm internal attaches great importance to the chip, and also quite the pressure, and is actively searching for the relevant information, and pondering a response to it.

MT6589M has to send samples to the mainland mobile phone brand manufacturers to enter the certification stage, also began to cast piece chip mass production point in time will be targeted in June and July, before the Golden Week in August and September up the goods boom. In terms of the overall multi-mode 3G smart phone, MT6589 main high-end market, as MT6589M will have a large bite in low-level opportunities.

But to think that the second half of this year for the secret weapon of the smart phone chip, MediaTek MT6589M, you’re wrong! For cheap white card under $ 100 or cottage phone field, the single-mode part, In addition to the just recently introduced for WCDMA system MT6572, MediaTek is expected in the early third quarter of the second half of the second quarter, as well as Both variants of the chip will be large-scale mass production market, including for the the TD system of MT6572D well for EDGE systems MT6572E. In whether the MT6572, MT6572D or MT6572E, are also using twenty-eight nanometer process output dual-core chip, but are single-mode and dual-core, so the price will be low, MediaTek second half of the other two weapons . This article from the the MTK phone network http://www.mtksj.com

As for the the MediaTek second quarter contains EDGE and 3G smart phone chip shipments, including estimated effective due to the eve of May up the goods, and the new MediaTek chips will continue the advent of mass production, single-season smart phone chip shipments the estimated increase twenty-five% Daosi Cheng, reached fifty million. The third quarter because of the new MediaTek chips have begun large-scale heavy volume, plus the terminal market the big pull cargo tide of Golden Week, the single-season shipments will reach a peak the seventy million estimated point of view.

A then a turnaround theme
To the fourth quarter because of the Lunar New Year in late January next year, so advance up the goods-effective, single-season estimate shipments reached sixty million, so the whole MediaTek chip shipments of smart phones this year more than two hundred million teeth, no doubt.

Revenue performance benefited from the March smart phone chip shipments doubled, at least nine billion yuan to take off the MediaTek March revenue, not only the monthly growth rate of almost half of the first quarter revenue more smoothly touchdowns, and fall on earnings forecast of two hundred thirty-five billion the Ersi ○ billion standard range.

The post The new MT6589M chipset from Mediatek appeared first on Gizmochina.

MediaTek is one of chip manufacturer name may still be a little strange, when compared to Intel, AMD, Qualcomm Snapdragon, Nvidia Tegra, or even Samsung, which manufactures chips for their own Galaxy S and Apple iPhone. However, the chip maker MediaTek is probably the fastest growing.

This China-based company to compete aggressively on price with NVidia and Qualcomm, to accommodate the market in developing countries, where low-cost smartphone and still have good performance. This year, Mediatek chip plans to sell 200 million chipset to embed for most smartphones. They also prepared a dedicated processor for tablet to be launched in the third quarter of this year.

Currently, newly launched MediaTek MT6589, a quadcore chip, so it seems the smartphone market from entry level to middle Android devices will soon be powered by this quadcore processor.

The post Mediatek ships 200 million chipset this year appeared first on Gizmochina.

On last year, MediaTek Division Technology has been release their first quad-core smartphone chipset – MT6589 using the ARM A7 architecture TSMC 28-nanometer manufacturing process.

The MediaTek also launched with the previous single, dual-core smart chip, like, MT6589 still has a high level of integration, low-power characteristics. Currently equipped with the MT6589 quad-core processor. This chipset has already embed in Gionee  2 (GN708W) elegance phone is already on the market.

The MT6589 has officially entered our field of view of the average consumer. For quad-core processor, may you also have some preliminary understanding about the MediaTek MT6589 chipset.

Cortex-A7 architecture has reliable performance

You might want to know, what features offered by this new chipset, we want to provide a comprehensive knowledge of the latest MediaTek MT6589 products, which is ARM Cortex-A7 processor based on the ARMv7-A architecture.

The processor overall performance plays a decisive role in the performance of different architecture processor at the same frequency may be a difference of 2-5 times ranging. Bluntly said that architecture is equivalent to the framework of a building, the entire building, the most basic things, As for the future construction of the high and low, and Comfort by the processor vendors decided.

However, due to the architecture is the foundation, so it needs to set an upper limit, such as the building was originally designed 5-storey and can accommodate up to 500 people, eventually forming the house must be within the limits prescribed, the processor The architecture directly determine its maximum performance.

Cortex-A7 processor architecture diagram

See here, have some understanding about the processor slightly, as early as in the single-core era, mainstream mobile processor with a Cortex-A8 architecture, dual-core processors are Cortex-A9 architecture, such as the latest Tegra 4 quad-core processors to achieve the Cortex-A15 architecture, MT6589 Cortex-A7 architecture processor from a digital point of view, whether it is the face of last year’s mainstream quad-core processor Tegra 3 (Cortex-A9) its previous generation dual-core MT6577 (Cortex-A9) are no advantages

In fact, the Cortex-A7 processor architecture and feature set is identical to that of the Cortex-A15 processor, different from this is that the Cortex-A7 processor micro-architecture focused on providing the best energy efficiency, so these two processors big.LITTLE (the size of the size of the core partner structure) configuration to work together to provide the ultimate combination of high performance and ultra-low power consumption. Five times the energy efficiency of a single Cortex-A7 processor ARM Cortex-A8 processor, the performance increase of 50%, and the size is only one-fifth of the latter. Simple point that the characteristics of the Cortex-A7 processor is based on guaranteed performance to provide excellent low-power performance.

Compared to 40nm Tegra 3 and MT6577 mainstream quad-core / dual-core processor, MT6589 also has a more advanced 28-nanometer process technology, which makes the MT6589 in essence, we must be more power than the other two previous processors.

Comprehensive performance measurement: almost double increase
To test this we MT6589 processor reliability test using AnTuTu Benchmark app version 3.1 Since these applications are widely used by Android devices and can produce accurate reports on the specification and performance of your Android device.

With the application of the Benchmark AnTuTu we did some evaluation of the performance of memory, CPU integer performance, CPU floating point performance, 2D and 3D graphics performance, Database IO for testing the speed of performance of the phone to do an overall score.

Fortunately, we uses the same 960 × 540 resolution with MT6589 and MT6577 models, so that we can fully contrast the gap between the performance of the two processors. We are able to see very obvious MT6589 comprehensive performance upgrade.

(Left) MT6577 MT6589 score score (right)

Tegra 3 mobile phone but I at hand and does not use a resolution of 960 × 540, in order to be fair, we did not check 2D and 3D performance test options, and the comparison of these two contrast link at the back of the graphics capabilities, we will have a special introduction. From the results point of view, the MT6589 processor score is already very close to the Tegra 3 processor, it is noteworthy MT6589 phone using the 1.2GHz frequency, Tegra 3 mobile phone frequency is 1.5GHz. If two phones frequency is the same, the results of the MT6589 may be even higher than Tegra 3.

SGX544 GPU rendering ability

Known PC devices running 3D game flow is not smooth, on the one hand, relies on a central processor (CPU), depends on the graphics processor (GPU) on the larger aspects. The same is true for the mobile phone platform before relying solely on the CPU to deal with 3D games, the processing capacity is often inadequate. With the increasing CPU upgrade, also led to the synchronized GPU performance upgrade, the intelligent mobile terminal has been able to easily run large-scale 3D games, rich and gorgeous special effects can be comparable to the PC effect GPU not only for rendering 3D processing, precisely also assist video codec, video capture playback and photo shooting task of coding and graphics.

The MT6589 is still equipped with the Imagination Technologies PowerVR Series graphics chip, its core is to upgrade to a PowerVR SGX544 compared to the MT6577 SGX531 ultra graphics core on the rendering capabilities greatly enhance, then what is the graphics processing ‘s rendering capacity?

Well simple, our eyes see color, shape, and location of the phone on the graphics GPU must go through the “rendering”, “rendering”, in front of just a line-by-line code. GPU “rendering” including the the triangle output rate and pixel fill rate. While on the table, we see the PowerVR SGX544 either triangle output rate or pixel fill rate should be much higher than the SGX531 ultra.

Pixel fill rate is equivalent to the graph coloring fullness

Now we see the improved the MT6589 graphics core specifications the MT6589 measured the graphics capability.

An the Benchmark 3 DRating evaluation is a professional GPU performance testing software and safety benchmark comprehensive performance test, 3DRating only emphasis on equipment GPU hardware 3D, 3D performance is the main performance of the game software.

Through the test, higher score is mean more better 3D performance of the equipment, the devices will also be able to run the game software requirements of the appropriate level.

3D performance measured results are amazing

Same native resolution of 960 × 540, the MT6589’s 3D score reached the MT6577 three times, the difference scores and direct experience in the MT5689 device in my hands running the latest temple fled “significantly higher than MT6577 devices faster.

The AAnTuTu Benchmark 3DRating evaluation software allows equipment testing is limited to 2048 × 1024 resolution 3D score, which allows us to compare different screen resolution 3D capabilities of the device. In the limited resolution, the  MT6589 devices 3D score is also more than a score of Tegra 3 devices, reflecting its impressive graphical capabilities.

From the outside. Android system supports packet PVRTC (PowerVR SGX), ATITC (Qualcomm), DXT (Nvidia) three, in addition to ETC1 OPENGL ES a common format. The PowerVR SGX5XT the series support PVRTC and ETC1 two formats, dominant in mainstream GPU platform. We know that most of the games of Android on the iOS platform transplanted from the iPhone or iPad is Imagination Technologies PowerVR series of graphics chips, so the compatibility of the game on the MT6589 is also has certain advantages.

The mainstream GPU support game packet comparison

Achieve 1080p display / video recorders

In addition to 3D performance, the audio and video playback and output capabilities of the graphics chip is also a very important parameter, we can see from the last page of the form. MT6589 Although the maximum output resolution and can be mounted on the maximum number of pixels of the camera than the Tegra 3 has a certain gap, from a practical point of view, however, the display output and video recording of 1080p resolution are reached the top mobile phone products specifications, while the 13 million-pixel camera specifications will become the standard configuration of the mainstream high-end mobile phones this year. These are compared with the previous MT6577 has made substantial progress.

The MT6577 support to 720p video recording

Like my hands the bit rate of up to 45.6MB / s 1080p video MT6589 device is also able to stream drag-and-drop. What? No concept of this high-bit-rate video, well tell you, two and a half video capacity reached 843MB. Smooth playback of 45.6MB / s over bitrate 1080 video

To 3840×2160 resolution perverted video test

May be seen before the the evaluation article’s author will know, teacher Xiaobian have an extremely “abnormal” video, Why? Because it is a period of clear “outrageous” ultra-high resolution performance test video clips (exaggeration resolution of up to 3840×2160), it even is even higher than the resolution of the The New iPad Oh, the file format is MP4, maximum bit rate of up to 60mbps. Various details in the video is very, very rich, almost any screen pauses are a considerable praise Wallpaper. Of course, not all computer or mobile phone can play smoothly, and move it, I also try to play a bit Macbook Air really is very difficult to screen and audio out of sync, dropped frames significantly, with a 42-second video 2 minutes to fully aired.

Support HSPA + and W + TD dual standby / summarize

In addition to the performance boost, MT6589 in terms of network capacity is not progress, the MTK chip compared to the previous, it finally supports HSPA +, downlink peak speed increase sixfold. PS: HSPA + can be seen as HSPA (high-speed trekking link Packet Access), an upgraded version of HSPA + downlink transmission speed is 42M, 7.2M upgrade HSPA downlink than 6 times.

The more important Previously the MT6517 chip can support TD / CDMA network by adding other RF modules, but the threshold is relatively too high, while MTK6589 W + G / TD + G / W + TD / dual card dual standby dual pass. Therefore, the future we may see more TD mobile phones based on MT6589 ultra-low level, the user selects the richer.

Support a variety of dual-network dual standby

Summary:
MT6577 emergence of last year, quickly pull down the price of the dual-core phone, but compared to the mainstream dual-core processor, the performance gap is still very large, and the face of the other Qianyuan Ji dual-core chips, it also did not show much advantage. In contrast, today’s MT6589 in terms of process technology, architecture and graphics capabilities have reached the level of the absolute mainstream richer network compatibility allows this chip can get more carriers support. With the emergence of MT6589 Qualcomm MSM8X25Q, cheap quad-core chip, Qian Yuanji pattern of the mobile phone market is bound to be in the near future to be broken.

MT6589 Features at a Glance

The post The review of MTK MT6589 processor appeared first on Gizmochina.

Since MediaTek MT6589 chipset has been made, there is a lot of manufacturers are lining up to dedicate to using Mediatek quad-core processor. This effort is doing for minimize the cost of production.

The TCL P600 and Y900 smartphone is the one of the first devices powered by MediaTek MT6589 chipset. Both smartphones were revealed two weeks before officially marketed in China.

Related to this, there is news that says that now both Sony and Motorola are testing the existence of MediaTek MT6589. Perhaps there will be more quad-core devices with a more affordable price in the market soon. And for lower production costs is the reason that makes LG reportedly also expressed interest in the same way as Sony and Motorola.

Lenovo, TCL, Huawei, Gionee, ZTE, Coolpad and Vivo are a few manufacturers that has intrigued and even have dedicated to using MediaTek MT6589 processor to the newest mobile devices recently. Interest in most of the manufacturers in China lately because MediaTek MT6589 is capable of reducing the production budget is much lower than usual.

MediaTek MT6589 architecture is based on the Cortex-A7, the resulting frequency between 1GHz to 1.2GHz, support for LDDR2 RAM, 720p screen resolution, support for WCDMA and TD-SCDMA netwotk, capable of processing 13-megapixel camera and 1080p Full HD video playback. MediaTek MT6589 is now integrated with PowerVR SGX544 GPU.

The post Sony and Motorola ready to using Mediatek chipset to reduce the price appeared first on Gizmochina.

Semiconductor company MediaTek which has just announced a quad-core SoC chipset, this is world’s first commercial MT6589 series is based on the ARM Cortex A7 CPU architecture. Qualcomm announces quad-core SoC chipset will first but MediaTek chips will be marketed in the first quarter of 2013.

MT6589 uses four core Cortex A7 with 28nm technology which, according to the ARM processor is the most efficient power. This chip is combined with a PowerVR GPU Series5XT and multi-mode modem UMTS Rel. 8/HSPA + / TD-SCDMA made by MediaTek.

The post MediaTek announced quad-core SoC chipset for middle to upper class handset appeared first on Gizmochina.

The report from Digitimes said that the sales of the domestic smartphone market in China growth this year has increased sharply, and this is far beyond the expectations of the market, this is due to the high intensifying the creation and contribution MediaTek Qualcomm chipset.
A review of the market conditions in 2011, when not many options on the market, and the integrity of the program is not too high, both branded and non-branded products in the mainstream R&D speed and price, essentially failed to meet market demand.

2012, the momentum for MediaTek, Qualcomm is also strong against QRD strategy, the rest of each provider supply multi-core chip to complete; coupled with improved overall performance, and substantial cost reduction program, greatly accelerating the design of mobile products. While the ecological situation in the mobile system, particularly in the Chinese market demand is increasing, and directly promote strong development of the whole industry.

Digitimes expected, the size of the Chinese smartphone chip market will be over 240 million in 2012. MediaTek shipments of 113 million occupies almost half of the country, topped the list. MediaTek president Xie Qingjiang has said that volume shipments of MediaTek achieved these excellent results, the main benefit from the rapid development of China’s smartphone market, and its dual-core processor. He also said that over 35 million shipped in the third quarter, in fact, already more than the company previously expected. MediaTek shipments expected fourth quarter is expected to more than 40 million.

Is expected in 2012, Qualcomm chip market in China smartphone shipments of 82 million, ranking second. Spreadtrum by 22.5 million came in third. Marvell Leadcore respectively, 6,500,000 and 6,000,000 in the fourth and fifth.

However, China’s smart phone market have become accustomed to price competition will become the biggest worry for. Although manufacturers to lower prices, expect to lift shipments as a means of revenue enhancement, but too many competitors in the market, the market can not indefinitely soaring, and thus the limited carrying capacity of sustained price war flame will inevitably do bad market, caused by the volume of high revenue not gone up horrendously, at the same time, can also exacerbate the market reshuffle, some manufacturers had to exit early.

The post Mediatek chipset market increase appeared first on Gizmochina.

According to foreign news agencies, Microsoft has a planning to built their own mobile phone (Surface Phone) and will using Mediatek chipset as the main processor on those Windows Phone 8 smartphone.

The news said MediaTek and Huawei is jointly to develope develop WP8 Surface smartphone. But this morning, MediaTek clarified that this message is not the true, the company did not develop products for Microsoft’s new mobile operating system and mainly still support Android-based devices.

Microsoft plans to push its own brand tablet computer Surface product market, Microsoft is planning to launch its own brand smartphone next year. Microsoft KIN series smart phone announced in 2010, the team has been integrated with WP7, Microsoft’s new planning smart phone may be the low-cost intelligent machines, jointly developed by MediaTek and Huawei.

MediaTek stressed, becuase the foreign reports is not true, because the chipset ehich made by Mediatek is specialized for the Android operating system, has not been developed to support Microsoft WP8 operating system products.

MediaTek operating outlook in the second half bright smartphone chip demand is buoyant third quarter, consolidated revenue was 29.47 billion yuan, an increase of 25.72%, beyond the financial forecast corporate optimistic by MediaTek, a smart phone chip shipments may hope break through the 100 million units mark.

MediaTek gradually gained the smartphone chip market, according to market research firm Strategy Analytics recently published report, MediaTek, the first half of this year to benefit from strong growth in low-end smart phone, compared to the same period last year in the global smart phone application processor business jumped 13 times the market share ranking rose to third place.

According to Strategy Analytics, global smartphone applications processor sales in the first half year-on-year increase of 61% to $ 5.5 billion; Qualcomm (Qualcomm) LTE Snapdragon processor demand driven, shipping, sales ranking the leading position, the second and fourth names are Samsung Electronics and Broadcom.
