Qualcomm And MediaTek Discontinue Development Of 8-Core Mobile Processor

(GSM Insider) - Qualcomm And MediaTek Discontinue Development Of 8-Core Mobile Processor.

Samsung is the only mobile processor manufacturer that introduced the 8-core processor to date. It is the Exynos 5 Octa. Instead of rolling out 8-core processor, NVIDIA, Qualcomm and MediaTek continue to introduce quad-core processors. 

Tegra 4 is the latest processor from NVIDIA while Qualcomm has Snapdragon 600 and Snapdragon 800 that are quad-core processors too. Taiwanese company MediaTek introduced the MT6589 low budget quad-core processor in the last year. So, where is 8-core processor? 

According to industry sources, Qualcomm and MediaTek set to discontinue the development of 8-core processor because the market does not need any 8-core processor at the moment. MediaTek added that it will use its resources to focus on the development of value added services to its smartphone platform rather than the development of 8-core processor.

Paper-made SIM Card Spotted At Mobile World Congress 2013

(GSM Insider) - Paper-made SIM Card Spotted At Mobile World Congress 2013.

The SIM card in your device should be made from plastic materials. But the plastic-made SIM card could be replaced by the paper-made SIM card soon.

The paper-made SIM card was manufactured Big Ben Technology from China. It was made from paper and other recyclable materials. It is definitely good for the environment as the recyclable materials provide lesser waste. 

Basically, the paper-made SIM card is same like the normal plastic SIM card. Just a simple question for you all. If you are saying that the paper-made SIM card is too fragile, then how often you took out the SIM card? 

Hopefully the introduction of paper-made SIM card able to create more awareness among the telcos. China Mobile is using the paper-made SIM card. But yet to use it widely.
