MediaTek MT6589 Overview

CPU(s):

This chipset has 4xARM Cortex-A7 CPU(s) with 1024 KB L2 cache. It belongs to the high end category of chipsets that cannot easily run most apps out there. The lower clocked CPU is used under battery saving conditions while both of them may be activated under extreme workloads such as gaming, benchmarking or multitasking but it depends on whether App will effectively use all the CPUs or not.

Number of Cores:

This System on Chip has 4 cores clocked at 1.6 GHz. It can provide fairly goood levels of performance with moderate efficiency for today's apps and multitasking. Cores of a SoC have a great impact on the performance as they determine the how the workload is distributed across the chipset as well as the maximum number of apps that can run without stuttering on the smartphone/tab etc.

Architecture:

This SoC was built on High-performance mobile(HPM) architecture.

Lithography:

This SoC was built on 28nm lithography which results in extremely efficient performance.

Maximum Camera Support:

This SoC can effectively support a 13 MP camera at max indicating that it is mostly used on mid level mobile devices

64 Bit:

This processor doesn't have 64 bit support.

64 bit support allows an SoC to manage more data along its bus width and allow more quantity of RAM to be paired with the chipset. Apps also run more easily and efficently on 64 Bit processors.

GPU:

This chipset has PowerVR SGX544.  Graphically demanding apps may not run properly on this SoC

Phones using this Chipset:

Most popular phones using this chipset are Micromax Canvas Turbo A250, Xiaomi Redmii etc

Tablets using this Chipset:

Most popular tabs using this chipset are...
