I know that some of you are still battling it out with MTK phones with quad(4)-core processor, while some of you have upgraded to Hexa(6)-core processor and currently, many of you are enjoying the efficiency of using octa(8)-core processors.

But do you know what? The Taiwanese MTK processor manufacturer is even saying that Octa-core is not enough and has gone ahead to unveil Deca(10)-core processor known as Helios X20, which they claim will offer improved performance and better power efficiency than other processors.

The Helios X20 processor will be packed in clusters of a single dual-core processor together with a pair of quad-core processor.
