We thought that these new processors would not be presented perhaps until next year, especially in the case of Qualcomm, but finally the debut has been advanced and it is already announced that in the first half of 2014 we will see the first mobile devices with them: the new Snapdragon 805, with more powerful CPU and GPU, and the MT6592, the 8-core processor Mediatek they are already official.
This year it was in the CES de Las Vegas where we were able to know the generation of processors that we now find in higher level mobile devices, but this year it seems that Qualcomm (the one that at the moment seems the clear leader of the sector) and Mediatek (the manufacturer that has gained positions the fastest, probably) have already given us a preview of what we will be able to see in stores in early 2014.
Snapdragon 805: 2,5 GHz and 4K video playback
After several months in which the most anticipated releases seem to have turned the Snapdragon 800 in the almost official processor of high-end smartphones and tablets, its successor has already made its debut. It is not, in any case, the first time we hear about him, although we did not know then that it would be called Snpadragon 805 nor that we would meet him just a week after his first leak. The interesting ones characteristics what did those show benchmarksHowever, they are still there: a frequency of 2,5 GHz for CPU and GPU Adreno 420 (which will allow video playback with 4K resolution.
MT6592: 8 real cores
From MT6592, the processor Mediatek that, unlike the 5 Exynos Octa de Samsung, Has 8 real cores for the CPU, we've been hearing about much longer and the company itself had announced it on several occasions. Although so far Mediatek has gained popularity thanks to its low-cost processors, the MT6592 seems to have the potential to go much further and, although its frequency is "only" 2GHz, benchmarks point to performance above even the Snapdragon 800a best before date significantly lower.
