MediaTek unveiled two new 64-bit chipset for tablets

MediaTek has been always on the run producing different solutions for smartphones and tablets and yet again, they unveiled another duo of SoCs but is optimized and made specifically for tablets, the MT8163 and MT8735 both which sports a 64-bit processor.

So MT8163 sports a rather impressive 64-bit ARM Cortex A53 processor. GPU is not yet announced but probably, it maybe a Mali-T768 GPU. It doesn't sport any radio connectivity but it has the usual galore of wireless options like a dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. It supports Android 5.1 Lollipop by default so we assume that newer tablets will sport this chipset.

Moving on, the MT8735 on the other hand is basically the same with MT8163 but now has radio connectivity, specifically 4G LTE and has 6-mode world options. It also packs the usual set of connectivity options like its sibling.

Let's wait for its mass production, we are just step away from cheaper tablets running on 64-bit processor.
