MediaTek introduces octa-core mobile processor

Taiwanese integrated circuit producer MediaTek has introduced the world to its eight-core processor, elevating the bar for the competition.

MediaTek claimed that all the eight cores of its new octa-core processor run all together unlike existing eight-core solutions available in the market that activate only half of their cores at once.

MediaTek didn't name the existing eight-core chips that activate only half of their cores at once, but it might be trying to belittle Samsung's Exynos Octa 5 chip that powers the South Korean electronics giant's Galaxy S4 smartphone.

Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa chip, called the Exynos 5420, is based on ARM Mali - T628 MP6 cores. It is powered by four ARM Cortex-A15 cores at 1.8GHz and additional four Cortex-A7 cores at 1.3 GHz in a big-little configuration.

The new octa-core chip introduced by MediaTek would make web browsing experience faster and more stable, and also make user interfaces smoother by giving user-inputs to individual cores. In addition, it will render the 3D effects which would pave way for enhanced functionality and appearance of UI in apps as well as operating system.

However, the Taiwanese manufacturer didn't disclose the precise specifications and the exact release date for the new eight-core chips.

Is Blockchain the new digital era ?

There is nothing more powerful than an idea, whose time has come. What is Blockchain ? Blockchain is a set of growing records that are bound with one another using cryptographic algorithms. It allows records, called as blocks to be distributed among different system without being copied. Imagine that, you can see all the transactions that are being carried out in your bank. The main ledger, if is seen by thousands of people, would there be any malpractice anymore. The prime idea of blockchain was for Bitcoin, but now the tech community is now finding other potential uses for the technology. What is Bitcoin ?

PENETRATION TESTING

What is Penetration Testing? It’s the process to identify security vulnerabilities in an application by evaluating the system or network with various malicious techniques. Purpose of this test is to secure important data from outsiders like hackers who can have unauthorized access to system. Once vulnerability is identified it is used to exploit system in order to gain access to sensitive information. Causes of vulnerabilities: - Design and development errors - Poor system configuration - Human errors Why Penetration testing? - Financial data must be secured while transferring between different systems - Many clients are asking for pen testing as part of the software release cycle - To secure user data - To find security vulnerabilities in an application It’s very important for any organization to identify security issues present in internal network and computers. Using this information organization can plan defense against any hacking attempt. User privacy and ...
