So a Cortex-M4 @ 364MHz is in the X20 SoC?

There isn't a time when more than 4 cores are active at the same time.

What about Heating ??? didn't mention regarding this issue which is very important now a days.!!!

abbyzz, 12 May 2015FYI... Even Apple doesnt manufacture their own chip..Samsung is their brainchild to help them ... moreAtleast some one understands apple aint that great

sigh.. why they dont just create their own smartphone..? e.g. Mediatek Helio X20..,S1..,G1.etc..?they could have ruled out samsung.

John, read the article, can't you?
Mediatek said it won't run 10 cores simultaneously, the two A72 will only run at heavy load.

T... moreyou didn't get the point.. in 10 core its clustered as 2 quad core and 1 dual core and these never work simultaneously.. if you are using cpu intensive apps its use the high power dual core processor... if you are using normal apps 1st quad core will work... and if you are just using the phone the low powered quad core will work... and its more battery efficient

Absolutely crazy. Not a single application nowadays uses all 4 cores of a SOC, let alone 10. This will destroy the battery life. I'd rather see Mediatek create 4 (or maybe 8) very powerful cores than to see this joke

Only Apple and Intel knows how to design chips that can dynamically alter clock for both power and efficiency.

Mediatek is Taiwanese, not Chinese. Get your facts straight.

This SoC, together with all current octa- and hexacore SoCs are crazy. They make me cry. All for the marketing and unfortunatly customers all buy the BS.
Woopie, tri-cluster... With two identical clusters, apart from the clockspeed and the hi-performance cluster only has two cores. (And an integrated 11th M4 core.)
Go home Huawei, you're drunk.
(What we need is a SoC with a high-performance cluster, e.g. 4x A72 and a high-efficient cluster, e.g. 2x A53, on a 16 or 14nm finfet, HMP enabled (at least on cluster level) and a high-performance GPU (so no adreno 418 BS or a Mali400MP2/MP4).
