TechNow: LG G3 to sport a MediaTek OctaCore chip?


A new report from a Dutch website claims that the LG G3 is expected to feature a 5.5-inch QHD display with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 and a pixel density of 538 pixels per inch (ppi). A leaked graphics benchmark screenshot also listed its processor as an octa-core MediaTek. The MT6595 has four 2.2-2.5 GHz Cortex-A17 cores, and four 1.7 GHz Cortex-A7 cores, which is said to be comparable to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805 processor. There were rumors that LG was going to use a 64-bit processor that it manufactures in-house, but this latest leak points to MediaTek's octa-core chip.
