MediaTek To Debut A 12 Core SoC

Rumors from China suggest that the chip designer Mediatek is apparently on the verge of launching 10- and 12-core system on chips.

Mediatek has forced rival Qualcomm to launch 64-bit and Octacore processors when the latter had openly dismissed them only a few months earlier.

But the thoughts are that a 10 or a 12-core processor might be taking the Nintendo a bit as there are few in the market which would want one. The thinking is that Mediatek might want to launch this chip for the server market.

Recently Mediatek advertised for a Principal Hardware Engineer (Server Power Architect)  which required  ”Hands-on experience in maximizing performance of a parallel computing system within a low power envelope.”
