ok i'll explain in detail..
Even if it run all 8 cores at once will aqny app use it?
No that's why i said i don't care about Cores .. 99 % of the apps are optimized for single and dual cores .. quad core is itself overkill for android let alone 8 cores.. but having said that the newer one will be 1.7 ghz which is already 40-50 % or 0.5 ghz faster than 1.2 ghz 6589..
MTK 6588 is a product which even Mediatek is confused with since 2012 and we really dont know if it will see the light of the day on any handset.
mtk6588 is old 2012 product , i was talking about Mt6588
MT6588 is going to launch soon and xiomi is using it soon then all other OEM will start launching
Low-end Xiaomi Hongmi 1S with MediaTek's MT6588 quad-core chip launching soon?
Next generation phones will be better ofcourse but then we would always have to wait and will never end up buying.
But the next generation is already here . Mobile world congress is few days away there will be dozens of mobiles.. they all will launch next month true there is some waiting but the Difference in performance is <<<<HUGE>>>.. At the Same price you will get a major performance upgrade in a month.. also the newer SOC will run a lot cooler and With better GPS modules..
Lastly Im yet to see a MTK6589 with PowerVr SGX 544 in a big global brand for Rs 8K that has 1GB Ram IPS 720p 5.3 screen and is 7.9mm thick with and 8 and 2 mpx cameras???!!!
i mean't performance wise you can get better Performance than 6589 in Rs 8000..
the newer SOC is called Mt6582 it is 1.3 Ghz quad core with Mali 400 Mp2 .. it is better in every respect than 6589 .. some phones have already been launched like Xolo q700s , even lenovo has one but i think it is around 12.5k.. like i said newer generation is already here buying older one now doesn't make sense.. 6582 is supposed to be under 10,000 rs phones ..
And what makes you say that Power Vr is very very bad? Any reason?Have you seen the MTK6589 SoC with 544 and a Snapdragon and Adreno 305 play in real world?
Power VR is not bad , it is 1 year old now so it looks bad in comparison to others.. just like adreno 200 is also not bad but is old now so you will not buy it now right ? .. It was great in 2013 but not now..
you can compare the performance go to GFXBench and compare all 3 gpu's
adreno 305 is 100 % or 2x faster than power vr(6589).. whereas the newer Mali 450 is approx 60-70% faster than Adreno 305
and all at the same price..
GFxbench is indicative of Real world tests.. it's the best Cross Platform Genuine benchmark you can trust..
