裝置有望在第二季上市，MediaTek MT6591 六核心 SoC 處理器曝光

近期 MediaTek 的一些動作，往往都會讓人覺得相當意外。 在一份 MediaTek 的 roadmap 中，我們見到了一顆標榜著 HEXA 的產品，而這顆型號爲 MT6591 的 SoC 處理器，將會是該公司首款六核心產品。 從型號的命名方式來看，MediaTek MT6591 將不會是 64 bit SoC 處理器，因為在剛剛結束的 MWC 2014 中，該公司宣布的 64 bit SoC 處理器型號爲 MT6732。 從 roadmap 中的訊息來看，這顆型號爲 MT6591 的六核心產品將不會採用 big.LITTLE 架構，而將會是如 Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 這款八核心處理器一樣，能夠同時讓八顆核心同時使用。 日前 Samsung Exynos 系列也加入了一款六核心處理器，不過該處理器爲 big.LITTLE 架構的產品。 這顆型號爲*Exynos 5260 的六核心 SoC，在大核部分只有兩顆核心，爲 1.7GHz 的 Cortex-A15，另搭配四核心的 Cortex-A7，時脈爲 1.3GHz。 [...]
