MediaTek’s new T800 chipset solution for sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G networks takes 5G apps and experiences to the next level.
Following the release of MediaTek’s T700 5G modem, this quick and energy-efficient 5G solution will enable cutting-edge 5G “beyond smartphone” applications including Industrial IoT, M2M, and always-connected PCs.
“Consumers today want the ability to access 5G speeds from anywhere. MediaTek’s newest 5G chipset solution allows end users to enjoy high-speed, low-latency 5G wherever they are – offering true computing freedom,” said JC Hsu, Corporate Vice President at MediaTek.
The cutting-edge MediaTek T800 solution offers download speeds of up to 7.9Gbps. With the T800, users can browse, stream, and play games for a longer period of time thanks to MediaTek’s most recent 5G UltraSave power-efficiency technologies, which are optimized for all 5G connection situations.
“The T800 stands out with super-fast, reliable 5G speeds in a highly efficient design that maximizes battery life for an all-around great user experience,” Hsu added.
The fully integrated architecture of the T800 contributes to faster time to market and cheaper development costs. The chipset solution includes a small modem with a fully integrated 3GPP Release-16 5G cellular modem, FR1 transceivers, an Envelope Tracking (ET) chip, an MLNA, a GNSS receiver, and associated PMICs.
In addition, this thin modem has PCIe + USB host ports, and additional input/output options, and is manufactured on a cutting-edge 4nm fabrication node.
MediaTek T800 key features:
- Download speeds of up to 7.9Gbps and upload speeds of up to 4.2Gbps.
- Support for sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G, both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA). Connections up to 4CC-CA are supported, as well as mixed duplex FDD/TDD.
- Support for dual 5G SIM (DSDS), subject to device manufacturer restrictions.
MediaTek is dedicated to providing 5G to everyone. Fast and dependable 5G is delivered via fixed wireless access routers, mobile hotspots, PCs, smartphones, tablets, cars, and more thanks to the company’s comprehensive range of 5G technologies.
MediaTek Pentonic 1000
Moreover, MediaTek also has its new Pentonic 1000, the latest flagship smart TV system-on-chip built for 4K 120Hz displays.
The Pentonic 1000 combines Wi-Fi 6/6E connectivity, MEMC for smoother video, a powerful AI processor, Dolby Vision IQ with Precision Detail, and 8-screen Intelligent View to enable simultaneous viewing of several streams of content.
Additionally, the chipset offers a single platform compatibility for the most recent video codecs and international TV broadcast standards.
The MediaTek Pentonic 1000 is a single chip that houses a strong multi-core CPU, dual-core GPU, specialized AI processing unit (APU), and video decoding engines.
For gaming applications, the chipset supports resolutions up to 4K at 120Hz and has VRR capabilities up to 4K at 144Hz. It supports very high frame rates for more fluid gameplay and has an Auto Low Latency Mode for lag-free play (ALLM).
Furthermore, with the help of MediaTek’s exclusive Intelligent View technology, users can watch many media sources and participate in video conferences with friends at the same time, all with stunning image quality.
Precision Detail, which is available through Dolby Vision IQ, adds to Dolby’s arsenal of Advanced Imaging technologies by displaying remarkable detail in both bright and dark locations. Images on 4K smart TVs acquire a new dimension with astounding clarity thanks to the addition of texture and depth.
Along with Precision Detail, MediaTek’s Intelligent View technology can analyze several Dolby Vision streams at once when combined with the most recent developments in image technology from Dolby. Customers may now simultaneously see several media sources in Dolby Vision windows, all in breathtaking quality.
MediaTek Pentonic 1000 key features:
- Ultra-fast Connectivity: With Wi-Fi 6/6E compatibility, customers may continuously enjoy 4K streaming and low-latency Cloud gaming.
- Global Video and 4K120p Decoding Built-in: The Pentonic 1000 is built for VVC (H.266), which will help launch the first wave of VVC acceptance. It also supports the popular ATSC 3.0, AV1, HEVC, VP9, and AVS3 standards.
- Advanced Audio Features: The chipset has Dolby Atmos immersive sound as well as cutting-edge voice assistant features so that customers can use their smart TVs to communicate with other smart home devices.
In comparison to competing for multi-chip systems, the on-chip AI engine of the Pentonic 1000 offers industry-leading AI advancements with improved performance and power efficiency.
The company’s AI-Super Resolution (AI-SR) technology has been upgraded by MediaTek to provide edge smoothing and detail reconstruction to make FHD appear to be 4K, and its AI-Picture Quality (AI-PQ) Scene Recognition and AI-PQ Object Recognition technologies enhance picture quality for a more accurate sense of depth that brings content to life.
