MediaTek launched the Kompanio Ultra 910 processor for Chromebook Plus laptops. Mediatek Claims it powers “the highest performing Chromebooks yet, while also delivering all-day battery life.”
Kompanio Ultra 910 processor Specifications
Built on 3nm The chip uses an all-big-core design with Cortex-X925, X4, and A720 cores, built on the Armv9.2 architecture for faster computing, security, and efficiency. It supports LPDDR5X-8533 memory, ensuring quick data access for the CPU, GPU, and NPU.
The processor features an 8-core CPU on a 3nm technology, led by an Arm Cortex-X925 clocked at up to 3.62GHz, with 16MB of aggregate cache. It features an 8th-generation NPU capable of delivering up to 50 TOPS for AI workloads, as well as an 11-core GPU with ray tracing and support for two 4K external displays.
MediaTek compares it to the Core Ultra 5 125U, claiming the Ultra 910 offers up to 18% faster single-threaded performance and 50% better battery life. In multi-threaded tasks, it provides up to 40% faster CPU performance and 30% improved battery efficiency.
The NPU, which is tailored for Google’s Chromebook AI features, can deliver up to five times the Intel chip’s 11 TOPS. The GPU provides 40% better peak performance, with Minecraft running 250% faster and achieving 292 frames per second on GFXBench Manhattan 3.0, versus 207 for the Intel chipset.
AI and GPU
The NPU enables AI tasks such as on-device picture and video production, has up to 50 TOPS, and is compatible with generative AI models, including ETHZ v6 benchmarks. It offloads workloads off the CPU and GPU, allowing for quicker and more power-efficient processing. The 11-core G925 GPU increases ray-tracing with opacity micromaps, allowing games to include realistic effects like flora, hair, and feathers without requiring intensive rendering.
Chromebooks with the Kompanio Ultra 910 will be available in the coming months.
