This afternoon, MediaTek announced the Kompanio 1300T, the company’s latest chipset for laptops, Chromebooks, and tablets. This chipset is the successor to the Kompanio 820 chipset.
MediaTek claims that this chipset can deliver stronger performance, high-quality multimedia experiences, and 5G capabilities. The chipset is manufactured using TSMC’s 6nm process and features an octa-core architecture, including four Cortex-A78 cores and four Cortex-A55 cores.
The chipset integrates a Mali-G77 MC9 GPU with nine high-performance cores, but MediaTek has not yet announced its clock speed. The chipset also features the company’s self-developed APU, which delivers robust performance for various AI functions, including AI voice assistants and ultra-low-power voice wake-up (VoW).
The Kompanio 1300T supports up to 2.5K resolution (2560 x 1440) and a 120Hz refresh rate. Moreover, this chipset can drive two external displays at full HD resolution and supports HDR10+ playback. MiraVision display technology allows manufacturers to filter blue light, enhance image quality, and adjust parameters such as resolution and frame rate.
This chipset can drive multi-camera systems with sensors up to 108MP pixels, while supporting 4K@60fps video encoding and decoding, interlaced 4K HDR video recording, multi-layer smart autofocus, and AI-Clear streaming to enhance photography and live broadcast performance.
For gaming, the chipset features MediaTek’s HyperEngine 3.0, which provides many enhancements to improve network performance, color accuracy, touch response speed, and other aspects of performance.
It is worth noting that the chipset also supports 5G connectivity and all 5G frequency bands below 6 GHz, 2CC carrier aggregation (2CC CA), dual-SIM 5G, 5G elevator mode, and 5G HSR mode. The chip also supports Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and 5G UltraSave power-saving mode, which can automatically optimize power consumption based on network quality.
MediaTek announced that new tablets and Chromebooks powered by the Kompanio 1300T chip are expected to be released in the third quarter of 2021. Honor will launch the V7 Pro tablet on August 12, and the company has confirmed that the device will use the Kompanio 1300T chipset.
MediaTek also stated that its Kompanio series uses a highly integrated SoC design and advanced technology to improve energy efficiency, helping personal computing devices achieve long battery life when the screen is unfolded, flipped, folded, or even detached.
