MediaTek Kompanio 500

The MediaTek Kompanio 500 (MT8183) brings together a diverse mix of highly capable hardware into a power-efficient chip, enabling quality Chromebook platforms. The chip combines an octa-core CPU with four Arm Cortex-A73 ‘big’ cores and four Cortex-A53 cores all operating up to 2GHz, plus a powerful Arm Mali-G72-class graphics processor operating up to 800MHz. A dual-core AI processing unit (APU) is also integrated into the chip. It provides up to 0.5TOPs performance, enabling accelerated AI-enhancements to applications and AI-camera upgrades with very low power use.

The MediaTek Kompanio 500 (MT8183) supports up to 32MP camera sensors for very high resolution images, or dual-camera arrays up to 16+16MP, plus a hardware depth sensor for accurate bokeh images and video; ideal for video conferencing. AI-camera synergy can enable features such as facial detection, object and scene identification, selfie enhancements, AR/MR acceleration, album categorization and other photography and live-video enhancements.

Brands can adopt crisp FullHD+ resolution displays for their products, plus offer external display connectivity to increase the screen real-estate for productivity. A multi-standard FullHD video accelerator and an advanced audio subsystem provide power-efficient multimedia playback from local storage or online streaming services, enabling users to watch their favorite shows for longer, or freeing CPU time to multitask effectively. Flexible memory and storage options enable brands a variety of performance levels to meet market requirements, or plan several products around a single platform, saving development time and cost. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GNSS, while peripherals can be connected with either USB 3.0 (device mode) or USB 2.0 OTG, and SDIO.
