MediaTek today announced its latest system-on-a-chip, the MediaTek MT6732, their first 64-bit LTE chipset for mobile devices. Built around four ARM Cortex-A53 cores paired to a Mali-T760 GPU and an LTE modem, the new chipset is geared at what MediaTek calls the “Super-mid Market” which consists of “billions of consumers ready to adopt smart devices with premium features at mainstream prices – many for the very first time.”
“MediaTek wants to make the world a more inclusive place, where the best user experiences and fully connected does not mean expensive,” said Johan Lodenius, Chief Marketing Officer for MediaTek. “We are committed to power devices that accelerate the global demographic and cultural transformation. Inclusiveness is such an important part of MediaTek’s vision, which is why we strive to put technology in the hands of everyone, to enable everyone to be an everyday genius.”
The MediaTek MT6732 SoC comes with:
- Four 1.5GHz ARM Cortex-A53 cores paired to a 16-core Mali-T760 GPU
- Full support for Open GL ES 3.0 and Open CL 1.2
- An integrated 13MP camera image signal processor
- Category 4 FDD and TDD LTE (150 Mb/s downlink, 50 Mb/s uplink)
- Dual-band Wi-Fi support
- Bluetooth 4.0
Devices running the MediaTek MT6732 are expected to launch before the end of the year.
