Earlier this month there was
a whisp of octa-core colored smoke coming from
MediaTek. Today it's more of a roaring camp fire, with the
chip-maker going official
-- fully announcing its new octa-core processor ambitions. The firm
stops short of giving us the actual nitty-gritty specifications that
many of you will be waiting for, instead taking the chance to remind us
that Arm-based chips will be true eight-cores-at-once processing, and
none of this
big.LITTLE
dallying. The word is these will float around the 2GHz mark on arrival,
which last we heard was pegged for November. We're not suggesting the
timing of this announcement
was planned, but it looks, for now, like 8 is the current lucky number.
