Processing and performance:
With this MT6592M 1.4GHz 8 core processor definitely you will be getting good performance.On the Mediatek website with a full HD dispay smartphone the MT6592 with 700MHz mali GPU had the following performance numbers in terms of AnTuTu benchmark figures:
- 29415 points @ 1.7GHZ

Having mentioned the above figures for MT6592 I think the MT6592M must not have much difference in the performance.
