MediaTek called Amazon: Kindle Fire with MT8135 Quad - Eeevolution

Into the new Amazon Kindle Fire works. Until now, the rumors speak of three tablet and two 7-inch and 8.9-inch. The first would be even cheaper, a new version of the Kindle Fire now for sale at € 159, the second and the third of the Kindle Fire HD. We also read something about the specifics of Kindle Fire HD: Amazon seems determined to propose a top tablet, a model with Full HD display and Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 800, the same hardware used in the 8.9-inch version, however, would be used where a panel 2560 x 1600 pixels and an 8-megapixel rear camera.

Kindle Fire? For its tablet cheaper, Amazon should use the MediaTek MT8135 SoC. The Chinese version of the Economic Daily News (EDN) writes today of a major order from Amazon for using the Quad Core on Kindle Fire. The expected output is indicated for Q1 2014 then lags behind the rumors that they wanted for sale shortly after the summer.

Into MediaTek MT8135 presented at the end of July 2013. It ‘a Quad Core consists of two Cortex-A15 Cortex-A7 and two. Uses architecture big.LITTLE MP then is able to take advantage of all cores simultaneously according to the workload. ARM describes this variant big.LITTLE like this:

Into The advantage of task migration over CPU migration Is that a system can benefit from all its CPU at the same time, if the processing demands are extremely high. For example 2x in a ‘big’ + 2x ‘LITTLE’ system all 4 CPUs can be used at peak demand times, where as CPU migration would only be Able to use 2 CPUs. – Via arm.com.

Into Side GPU, MT8135 uses a PowerVR G6200. MediaTek is about 4 times the computing power of the GPU Series 5 and considering that one of these (PowerVR SGX544) is used on ASUS MeMo Pad HD 7 in SoC MT8125, I would say that there is hope for in terms of graphics performance of gaming and multimedia. With these features, the Kindle Fire is preparing to be a low-cost high-end, a tablet in the wake of MeMo Pad HD 7 (imagine it is obvious display with 1280 x 800 pixels) but more powerful and modern, especially if Amazon will maintain the current price remaining unchanged in the range of 150 Euros . Should soon be on the road with other devices MT8135.

Into Some doubts about the release date: Q1 2014 would mean facing the holidays with the current range of tablets, no news, and would not be a good thing for Amazon. Unless the company does not intend to give priority to Kindle Fire HD – or that rumors of EDN are poorly substantiated. We’ll see.
