    MediaTek said that the upcoming MT8135 chip will be based on ARM's big.LITTLE architecture with improved GPU power by Imagination's Series-6 core. With its better overall performance and support for high-resolution screens and low power consumption, the enhanced MT8135 version is attracting more customers than the recently-launched MT8125, MediaTek noted.

    The upcoming availability of MediaTek's MT8135 solution will further boost the company's presence in the tablet field during the second half of 2013, market sources generally believe. Moreover, the firm is likely to introduce two to three chip solutions intended for tablets in early 2014.

    MediaTek is expected to grab an almost 15% share of the tablet-IC market worldwide in 2013, compared to less than 3% in 2012, according to the sources.

    So, MediaTek has quite a plans.
