            Shinigami, 26 Dec 2013Um... being a tech enthusiast I just couldn't stay quiet: ... morecpu power won't affect graphics perfomance, gaming and graphics depend only on gpu power, it has power vs series 6 gpu, which is great and is same as iphone5s but i phone 5s have quad core gpu, lets hope this chip also has same quad core gpu and no chip can do gaming on full 60fps, 40+ fps is super fluid to our eyes unless we have high speed eyes ;) :p

                      MTK processor isn't quite enough to satisfy a tech enthusiast, although specs look interesting, my bet is this processor will be barely enough to make 1080p resolution run fluid... if enough at all (my "fluid" means stable 60 FPS minimum).
