Micromax Canvas 5 with octa-core chip to hit market in 2014

[ratedr]

Micromax's Octa Core phone is real. Will hit market in early 2014” - that’s the tweet from the Micromax official leakster, MMXNewscaster on Saturday last week.

MediaTek’s octa-core MT6592 chip for phones which was announced in middle of this year will be officially launched on the 20th November this year. The next Micromax flagship is expected to be launched with this new MediaTek octa-core chip and the compnay seems to be ready for the new processor launch.

Mediatek launches octa-core SoC, rumours of an 8-core A240 Canvas strengthened
Micromax Canvas 5 to come in November? Will it run MT6592 octa-core?

On the 29th September this year the Micromax leakster tweeted “Micromax planning to launch it's new flagship device in November?” Soon after this Canvas Turbo was launched with Hugh Jackman as the company’s brand aambassador. With the latest leak from the leakster, we can now expect an announcement (or a leak) on an upcoming octa-core phone in the end of November or early December.

Micromax has already learned the art of teasing an upcoming phones and making people wait for its new phones. As the tweet indicates, we hope the Canvas 5 hits the pre-order status in January. That will make it the first domestic company to launch an octa-core processor phone for the Indian market. We only have Samsung’s octa-cores in the market today.

What do you want to actually mean to say

Mobile phone ads are often published with info like its running on a dual core/quad core CPU.
I just wanted to know is this much power (eg. 2Ghz freq or quad core...) required for general usage? How many people are actually using this much CPU power?
Also new LED TVs are being advertised as having dual core CPUs or having 400 Mhz CPU.
Is all this required to run a TV set or just a gimmick to influence user?

Totally agree with you! If Micromax starts advertising 8 core processor does it mean that all its single/dual/quad core processor models are bad? Dual core is fine to handle general usage but beyond that I feel it doesn't matter much.

The TVs being advertised to have a processor are most probably DDB TVs. As per the DDB specification they need a capable Video processor to run the video processing and possibly audio processing technology. Since these TVs are designed to handle digital signals directory without STB whatever tech goes into STB should now be in the TV itself.

4G LTE and octa core processor will feature in it and will be the first Micromax smartphone to have such feature.
