MediaTek and ARM has maintained a close working relationship between the two "low -power, high-performance " philosophy coincides , in a few days ago , MediaTek joint statement with ARM , MediaTek formally ARM Cortex-A50 series and ARM MALI graphics processor technology licensing , which means that maybe next year you can see the MediaTek launched to support 64-bit processing multicore mobile SOC, and more MAIL series graphics processor (GPU) is applied to the MTK mobile processor.
Cortex-A50 series processors including Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57 two products, based on "ARMv8" architecture, where Cortex-A57 A50 series is the highest performing processor, order execution , rather A53 places low power consumption ( energy efficiency ) based, a more simple sequential execution, has a smaller area . Both A50 series processors can support 64-bit processing , backward compatible with 32-bit instruction set , both of which can be used to achieve nuclear technology ARM big.LITTLE size 2 or 4 +4 +4 different combinations , but also with the A57 and A53 independently used separately , similar to the present combinations A7 + A15 .
Obtain authorization Cortex-A50 series , combining Big.LITTLE technology and heterogeneous multi-tasking technology , MediaTek can develop a six and even eight -core mobile processor core can not only intelligent switching can also be synchronized to work , taking into account the performance and energy efficiency a better balance between .
