Tawianes chip maker MediaTek recently announced it was working on an ARM Cortex-A15 chip with big.LITTLE technology. Now the company has announced that it’s licensed ARM Cortex-A50 technology, which means we could see 32-bit or 64-bit ARMv8 chips processors from MediaTek in the coming year. MediaTek has sort of come out of nowhere in the […]
