Phone chip maker Qualcomm (Qualcomm) recently came back to choke, hold " more the more the number of cores to meet consumer demand ," the idea is stupid (silly), and Qualcomm declared " do not do stupid things ," does not follow soon eight -core chips. But from the rumored Samsung 64-bit eight -core processor Exynos development is nearing the final phase , it is possible for the Galaxy S5, as well as many Chinese wisdom machine brand factory specifications for the establishment of exclusive image couplet MediaTek eight -core chips also voted in a caring eye view in the foreseeable future, the eight -core chip may indeed occupy a place in the mobile phone chip market . Just the short term, in order to affordable high quality demands of dual-core chips , as well as flagship , the high-end quad-core chip market should remain the mainstream of mobile phone chip market .
With regard to the future in a number of different core mobile chip ! layout , Xie Qingjiang that MediaTek quad-core chips Q4 smartphone shipments will increase from 25 to 30 percent of Q3 Q4 increased from 30 to 35% , I hope next year quad-core chips proportion to rise continuously , Hebei inject some energy on the overall gross margin .
However, he also stressed that low-end market growth potential is still very large, so MediaTek will continue to introduce a new generation of dual-core chips , and focus on cost optimization , performance improvement , not only hit low intelligence machine market , will continue to lock feature phones market . Thus " CP value " relatively high dual-core, quad-core chip , short-term mobile phone chip market will become the mainstream specifications.
Xie Qingjiang eight-core chips also put forward their views permeability . He pointed out that MediaTek Q4 push MT 6592 eight-core chip is in low power and high performance between products able to achieve a good balance , but for next year 's contrib! ution , will have to wait until the next France said it would be more clear. He also said that Apple's 64-bit processors for mobile communications products A7 has achieved a milestone , and MediaTek are starting to get more licenses from ARM hands , so 64 yuan product also currently tightly planned , while the future does not rule out following the eight -core , it will then have " relatively large " number of cores .
While MediaTek's eight -core chip positioning rules of a higher price, but also let the market concerned , the red rice machine 700 to 800 yuan pricing confuse a pond , the use of it is high-end quad-core chip , the MediaTek's eight nuclear whether future chip can better price and sell high-end mobile phone customers. This Xie Qingjiang pointed out that millet has his unique business model , and other mobile phone brands there is a big price difference between brands , he did not think the consumer market will be particularly inclined where to end , he hopes MediaTek's eight -core chip can better value for customers , and s! ell good price segment .
In addition to MediaTek , but in the way of eight-core Samsung is the fastest growing . Its code-named Exynos 5430 64-bit eight core processor, rumored to be in with a good chance of the Ming ( 2014 ) , published in early second generation flagship smartphone Galaxy S5 officially unveiled. It is understood that this processor is likely to support the Heterogeneous Technology (Heterogeneous Multi-Processing, HMP), can simultaneously use eight cores , power consumption is half of the current Exynos 5420 , and directly from 28 nm turn into 14 nm FinFET process mass production .
