HTC M8 spec leak tips 5-inch 1080p display and Snapdragon 800 processor

1

The HTC One was the subject of frequent leaks. That handset was originally known as the HTC M7, and well, it is looking like the next-generation device is going down the same path. The handset has been dubbed the HTC M8 and going all the way back to mid-July we were hearing reports of how this is expected to be an HTC flagship device for 2014.

More recently some images have leaked, sadly though, they didn’t offer all that great of a look at the device. That isn’t totally unexpected in terms of image leaks, however these (as you can see above) were on the rougher side. Needless to say, they did provide an early look at the handset. We are now seeing some specs though, and they have come by way of the Chinese language CTechCN.

Only the basics have been mentioned so far and those include details on the display, processor and version of Android. The leak suggests a 5-inch 1080p display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and Android 4.4 Kit Kat. There was also mention of an UltraPixel camera on the back, which put all together, is not a huge bump from the current model HTC One.

In comparison, the HTC One sports a 4.7-inch 1080p display along with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor. The HTC One has yet to get Kit Kat, but that will arrive in time. Otherwise, it appears as if the HTC M8 may have the same UltraPixel camera as the HTC One. The other interesting, and still unknown aspect here, comes with the image above.

If you look at the picture on the right side, there appears to be an extra opening. The bigger circle would likely be the camera lens, with the LED flash sitting next to it, but there is something else sitting just above. Time will tell what that ends up being, but for now, we are certain the speculation will begin and that more leaks will follow.

MediaTek: unveiled the first true OCTO-core processor features

By Jean-Louis Petrod on July 29, 2013

[Updated article updated July 29, 2013]

We have learned two days ago a confirmation of the work by MediaTek on its OCTO-AdR processore. The company has just take us some details.

While we ended in failure a possibility that turn 8 CPU cores of the S4 Galaxy discussed, this announcement provides the arrival of first and real processor-OCTO-core in the world!

MediaTek announces first true OCTO-core processor!

At the base, "Octo-Core" true architecture embedded on mobile devices through the Exynos-5 processor not in reality. Only 4 cores running both on the 8 available, knowing full well that 4 cores are used for common tasks and 4 cores are solicited for demanding tasks.

MediaTek in contrast presented its solution by OCTO-core CPU with 8 cores continuously and offers both the performance in performance (up to 2 GHz clock) and in terms of energy consumption.

While the actual technology phase on our mobile devices will come, company hits certain benefits to the adoption of a processor-OCTO-core on our smartphones and Tablet PCs:

Advanced Web browsing : the possibility of assigning tabs from your browser for each processor core to liquid to make Web browsing and heavy treatments (clicks).Refined user interface : 3D effects administration is divided into the processor cores to a significant improvement in the GUI.Quality gaming experience : Multi-core calculations in real time, better management of the framerate in play and low-latency on the big licenses.Efficient video playback : Decoding HEVC (H. 265) allows the decoding of all your videos in full HD at 30 fps (Editor's Note: frames per second), reduces consumption by 18% in contrast to quad-core processors.

Finally, MediaTek offers a video to its operation in a relatively simple way to explain:

As expected, production mass has been announced for November, month for the samples delivered by some manufacturers.

[Update at the end]

Mediatek processor cores 8 works it should not delay, initiated its new customers, the path from Samsung. Already known as the MT6592, this new chip takes the same naming system as the other models in the range and should be between 1.7 and 2 GHz. A model, the long list of CPU Quad-core and dual-core currently offered by the company Chinese added.

MediaTek has 8 processor cores on one.

A MediaTek 8-core processor, this is an ad in total contradiction with the recent statements of the producers, said a few months ago, from production through OCTO-core chips in the immediate future. But it's a secret, the technology industry is more ephemeral and new ideas come and go constantly.

A MediaTek 8-core processor, which should already be some value with views of the 5 okta of Samsung Exynos. The great Architektur.WENIG of the Exynos used two asymmetric Quad-cores which consist of four cortex A15S and four cortex A7, try games to compensate for the performance of the peaks of energy consumption during the next chip that MediaTek, allow to use the eight seeds at the same time.

It should be therefore eight-core ARM Cortex A7 already found in most of its products based on and run at a maximum rate of between 1.7 and 2 GHz. Of course first not to reach top performance with cortex-A7 are expected. And arrange eight cores to reach the A7 a score of 30,000 on AnTuTu just below the last processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 and above the Exynos (27 417) to allow 5 or the Snapdragon (25 900) 600.

The future processor MT 6592 MediaTek.

Remains, of course, what newly engraved beats these 28 nm to define chip for the consumer, despite his power. And it seems that this potentially integrated a 4 G LTE modem, Chinese society has recently made large investments in this area could develop.

Start of mass production for the month of November for an arrival on the market for early 2014.

Remember the release of the S4, everyone wondered the differences, which passed between the two SoC and their respective. Finally, it is demonstrated that the Exynos is slightly faster than the competitors with a score of 31 127 on Antutu 5 okta. This time the S4 Galaxy under Snapdragon 800 31 491 points on the same scale made! Performance is the superior makes about 10% of the model by Qualcom confirm face Samsung chip.

A Galaxy S4 under Snapdragon 800?

This is what indicates certification Wi - Fi of this model VHS-E330S in South Korea signs of the imminent arrival of a model on the market a few days earlier. At the moment, the S4 Galaxy not a 800 Snapdragon, but the 600 version is so up to 1.9 GHz frequency has been inflated. He is one of the most powerful smartphones of the moment, but that may soon change with the arrival of serious contenders in this second half of the year.

An impressive result for the S4 Galaxy under Snapdragon 800!

Next smartphones are likely to actually right turn under the last powerful SoC by Qualcomm. So the LG Optimus G2 or a HTC get a Max T6 with this processor, which would be a small delay, the S4 in relation to performance. Remember however the note 3 Galaxy also could enjoy. One thing for sure S4 owners feel betrayed by such message emits. What do you think of the opportunity to see such a model home?

The Galaxy tab 10.1 3 had an Intel processor.

At the same time, Reuters has also received a screenshot suggest the presence of the last Bay Trail processor in another device from Korea. From the high-end Intel Silvermont we had already mentioned, some time ago is this CPU like Atom in devices such as the Acer Iconia W510 three times stronger than its predecessor, the Intel found, but five times to present the advantage of use less energy.

Samsung Intel interested?

Information to take with a grain of salt, however. The Galaxy tab 3 10.1 presentation scheduled for June 20, there is in fact little chance this new being well too young, already commercially available processor be. But without the problems of liquid found in Windows 8 by default more greedy than the Google OS Android run don't panic, processor Intel clover trail sufficiently efficient.
