at Computex 2024 with a new strategic approach that any tech enthusiast could see from a mile away: the company is now further enabling more AI workloads for its chipsets. , MediaTek said it’s using the Arm-based Neoverse Compute Subsystems (Arm Neoverse CSS) to deliver on optimised performance for AI applications across uses cases seen in data centres, “infrastructure systems”, and telecommunications (networks and phones). Arm Neoverse CSS is onboarded onto MediaTek’s system-on-chip designs, helping to deliver better performance per watt for AI workloads. This is combined with Arm’s chip design, which offers the architecture necessary to provide industry-leading computing, graphics, and AI performance. This announcement is followed by a of MediaTek’s new AI-ready chipsets across multiple consumer verticals. The company is launching the Pentonic 800 system-on-chip for 4K smart TVs and displays, alongside the Kompanio 838 for Chromebooks. comes with 50% faster AI processing performance and 60% lower bandwidth usage, and its onboard NPU powers many of its AI-enhanced features like AI-Super Resolution 3.0, AI-Contrast 2.0, AI-Picture Quality Scene Recognition 2.0+, and AI-Picture QUality Object Recognition 2.5+. It also supports modern video codecs like HEVC, AV1, AVS3 High Porfile, and VVC (H.266).  focuses on multitasking capabilities that balances high performance against maximised battery efficiency for the Chromebooks it goes to. The chip supports up to LPDDR4X RAM, has its proprietary MediaTek NPU 650 for AI workloads, and Imagiq 7 image sensing processor for dual camera support and low-light capture needs. It also supports up to Wi-Fi 6E networks (tri-band) via its 2x2 antenna.  Earlier last month, MediaTek launched a half-step upgrade to its flagship tier offering, . The chip first debuted on the .
