Details of the latest Mediatek MT6795 Flagship processor leaked. These show hardware that means that the Mediatek MT6795 could bust the latest Snapdragon 810 processor.

There have been a lot of discussions about Mediatek’s 64Bit processors. These 64 bit procesors actually have enough power to beat SoC Processors (System On a Chip) like Snapdragon 801. This would be big news, since most of the Elite Flagship Smartphones like Samsung Galaxy S5 or HTC ONE M8 actually use the Snapdragon 801.

Now there are leaks that show features of the new Mediatek MT6795 processor. These specs show that even the NEW Snapdragon 810 processor could be under outperformed.

New Mediatek MT6795 vs Snapdragon 810

The MT6795 appeared the first time last week in a product roadmap from Mediatek. Today we have better information on the latest MT6795 specs and what to expect from the new Mediatek Flagship CPU.

Mediatek uses the same 28nm manufacturing processor for the new MT6795. The MT6795 though, will be made of a 64 bit octacore processor, containing Cortex A53 cores and A57 cores. So far the leaked specs show the MT6795 clocked at 2.2 Ghz. More likely at launch we will see a 2.5 Ghz version or even more.

The PowerV G6200 which is also used in iPhone 5s will be used for the GPU. That means that the MT6795 will have high quality GPU for sure. So far it is hard to say if the PowerV G6200 can outperform the Adreno 430 GPU on the Snapdragon 810 by Qualcomm.

For RAM the Mediatek MT6795 will support Dual channel LPDDR3 933Mhz while the Snapdragon 810 will support 64bit LPDD4F 1600mhz. The octa core processor will also support 2560 x 1600 resolution display, LTE, Glonass and 20 Megapixel Cameras. The huge advantage is that the new Mediatek octa core processor pin is compatible with MT6592. That means most smartphone upgrades will be fast.

According to Mediatek the MT6795 will be launched end of 2014. That means Q1 2015 we will already see even cheaper smartphones with powerful specs.

The real Question here is really price vs performance! If we get an equally powerful performance for everyday Android Users who will switch? How many people can keep affording expensive Snapdragon phones? If we can get an affordable high spec Mediatek MT6795, should Qualcomm start to worry?

In the end more competition is better for consumers in any case!
