MediaTek Kompanio 838: Amplifying productive working, learning and creativity

The octa-core Kompanio 838 packs outstanding performance and multitasking capabilities into a highly efficient SoC that enables all-day battery life for thin and light Chromebooks. This new chipset supports DDR4 and LPDDR4X to meet a wider range of OEM requirements, and doubles memory bandwidth compared to previous generations to provide considerably more data throughput.

To support the latest AI enhancements, Kompanio 838 enables a dedicated AI processor, the MediaTek NPU 650, to offer more interactive and higher quality multimedia with unparalleled power efficiency. MediaTek NPUs are designed for efficient image data processing, capable of quickly executing complex computations.

The built-in next-generation MediaTek Imagiq 7 series ISP upgrades professional quality HDR imaging, dual camera support, and low-light capture, improving photo and video quality even in challenging lighting conditions.

With hardware accelerated AV1 video decoding, the Kompanio 838 lets users seamlessly stream 4K content, while also enhancing picture quality. It supports up to two 4K displays simultaneously to give users more display real estate. The Kompanio 838 also supports MediaTek Filogic Wi-Fi 6 and 6E technology to offer dual-band and tri-band connectivity options to Chromebooks with speeds up to 1.9Gbps, while also offering more reliable connectivity thanks to the 2×2 antenna and enhanced security with WPA3 support.

“The finely tuned balance of power and efficiency the Kompanio 838 brings to Chromebook is a key point of innovation in our portfolio as we seek to bring powerful, affordable and accessible computing to more users around the globe,” said John Solomon, VP and GM, ChromeOS and Google for Education. “Together, we’re bringing thin and light Chromebooks with helpful AI features to even more customers.”

“The need for energy efficient devices capable of multitasking continues to grow and we are committed to empowering students and teachers with tech devices and solutions that enhance learning in the classroom and beyond,” said Benny Zhang, Executive Director and General Manager of Chromebooks in Lenovo’s Global Innovation Center, Intelligent Devices Group. “Lenovo and MediaTek have a long-standing partnership focused on delivering performance and value, and we look forward to bringing the Kompanio series chips to our upcoming Lenovo Chromebooks.”

MediaTek Pentonic 800: Powerful AI Engine with Industry-leading Image Enhancement

The MediaTek Pentonic 800 delivers best-in-class video, audio, and cloud gaming experiences. The SoC is ideal for a variety of 4K displays, including smart TVs, smart monitors, commercial displays, and embedded large displays. Compared to the previous generation chip, MediaTek’s AI processor offers 50% faster AI processing performance and reduces up to 60% bandwidth usage. The powerful NPU supports a variety of MediaTek AI-powered display technologies, including AI-Super Resolution 3.0, AI-Contrast 2.0, AI-Picture Quality Scene Recognition 2.0+, and AI-Picture Quality Object Recognition 2.5+. These technologies significantly improve upscaling, enhance picture quality, and eliminate noise, among many other enhancements for streaming and gaming. To further optimize gaming, Pentonic 800 supports variable refresh rate (VRR) up to 4K2K 165Hz.

Also, the Pentonic 800’s hardware video decoding engine supports popular key codecs such as HEVC, AV1, AVS3 High Profile, and VVC (H.266) for high quality 4K video playback. The chip also supports MEMC, TCON, and high-resolution audio. OEMs have the flexibility to add MediaTek’s Filogic Wi-Fi connectivity solutions to provide reliable high-speed connectivity with low latency. Additionally, MediaTek’s Filogic Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo solutions provide seamless connectivity between screens and peripherals, such as game controllers and wireless headsets.

It aims to be the FIRST GBA standard for printing industry. To drive CTV implementation across the region, the HKPA has launched the program Colour.Method.Master: GBA RECREATES THE WORLD’S COLOUR, funded by Hong Kong’s Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA). Following its participation in the 31st South China International Exhibition on Printing Industry in March, APTEC is presenting the program at the 11th China Print from May 15 to 19. Through knowledge sharing and exchanges, APTEC aims at boosting the industry to achieve excellency in printing by adopting CTV.

Recognized as the world’s largest and most influential printing trade show, China Print opened on May 15 and drew broad global attention. The HKPA brought a 55-member delegation to the event, which included key association leaders: Mr. Jackson S. Y. Leung, Chairman; Mr. Fung Man Ching, Percy, Chairman, Supervisory Committee; Mr. Yeung Kam Kai, BBS, Life Honorary President; Mr. Chiu Kwok Chu, BBS, Life Honorary President; and Mr. Yan Tak Chung, Alex, Vice-Chairman. 

Chairman Leung emphasized the importance of scaling CTV adoption following its standardization in the GBA. The long-term vision is to position CTV as a nationwide benchmark for print quality control and advocate for its application globally. The goal is to integrate CTV across the entire print supply chain. Sponsored by the CCIDA, HKPA and APTEC are exhibiting at booth E1-072 in the China International Exhibition Center (Shunyi Hall). During the exhibition, the delegation gathered market insights on the Colour.Method.Master campaign, held meetings with vendors, explored the latest printing technologies, and tracked developments shaping the future of the industry.
