The bell of 2016 is about to ring. With the official mass production of the world's first Kirin 950 equipped with the A72 core, chip manufacturers have also accelerated their pace. Last week, we also launched the Running points library Seeing the figure of Snapdragon 820, the MT6797 of MediaTek, which has skipped tickets for a long time, also appeared in the running score library.

In fact, MediaTek's X20 series processor has been released for a long time, but it has only existed on the official website of MediaTek. Now we can see its achievements in GeekBench's score database. From the score of the score library, the highest score of MT6797's multi-core score has exceeded 7000 points, while the single core score has also exceeded 2100 points. What is the level of this score? At present, among mobile phones, Kirin 950, which has the strongest multi-core score, has only 6400 points, and Apple A9, which has the strongest single core score, has only 2500 points. That is to say, MT6797 has no rival in multi-core score, and its single core score is not far behind Snapdragon 820, only second to Apple A9.

In terms of specifications, MT6797 is a 10 core SoC, with two @ 2.5GHz Cortex-A72 cores, four @ 2.0GHz Cortex-A53 cores, and four @ 1.4GHz Cortex-A53 cores. It is a 20nm process, using Mali GPU. The specific model is unknown. In addition, this is the first SoC of MediaTek that supports LTE Cat. 6 network (4G+network).
