MediaTek unveiled the Kompanio 1300T chipset, its latest and
greatest offering for tablets and ARM-powered laptops. It is similar in
hardware to the Dimensity 1200 chipset and is an upgrade over the Kompanio 1200
(MT8195) that was announced in November last year. The Kompanio 1300T is fabbed
on TSMC’s 6nm node and features an octa-core processor with Cortex-A78 cores
and A55 cores. The major upgrade is in the GPU department, which now features a
nine-core Mali-G77 MC9 (the 1200 chip has a mid-range G57 MC5).
The 1300T comes with an integrated 5G modem that works in
the sub-6 GHz bands and supports dual-SIM operation and 2 channel carrier
aggregation. This will enable high-speed connectivity on the go. Road warriors
will also appreciate the support for two 1080p displays – again, this is a
tablet and laptop chip, not something meant for phones. With a single display,
the chipset supports up to 1440p resolution with 120Hz refresh rate (with
dynamic refresh rate) and HDR10+ video playback. There’s an APU that enables
features like AI-PQ (“AI Picture Quality”) and voice commands. The chipset
supports cameras with up to 108 MP sensors and can record 4K video at up to 60
fps. Staggered HDR is also an option at 4K resolution.
Besides 5G, which can provide a low-latency connection for
gaming, the chip also supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. There’s also the
MediaTek T750, a 5G chipset for CPE applications (Consumer-Premises Equipment,
i.e. a router or similar device). It is fabbed on a 7 nm process, features a
quad-core Cortex-A55 processor (at 2.0 GHz), a 5G modem (sub-6 GHz, good for up
to 4.7 Gbps) gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, a GPU for an external display (up to
720p) as well as hardware acceleration for router duties.
