After a long period of rumors, MediaTek has officially launched Kompanio Ultra – the latest processor for high-performance Chromebooks, including the newly launched Chromebook Plus series. This chip integrates advanced AI capabilities, focusing on processing performance and energy efficiency.
Kompanio Ultra is equipped with MediaTek's 8th generation NPU, providing AI processing power of up to 50 TOPS (billions of calculations per second) - higher than the 45 TOPS from the Snapdragon X NPU. This technology allows AI applications to run right on the device (such as task automation, workflow optimization) without an Internet connection.
According to MediaTek, the Kompanio Ultra can handle heavy tasks like video editing, content creation, and gaming while maintaining smooth multitasking capabilities. The Kompanio Ultra is expected to compete directly with the 8-core Snapdragon X Plus and other X chipsets from Qualcomm. With its price advantage, the Chromebook Plus powered by the Kompanio Ultra is expected to become a cheaper alternative to the Snapdragon X-powered Copilot+ PC.
Outstanding technical specifications:
In terms of architecture, Kompanio Ultra uses an 8-core configuration including:
MediaTek claims the Kompanio Ultra offers 18% better overall performance than other flagship Chromebook chips. Devices powered by the new processor are expected to be available in the coming months.
The arrival of the Kompanio Ultra adds heat to the mobile processor market, especially as both Qualcomm and MediaTek have stepped up their focus on integrating AI capabilities into their products. While the Snapdragon X targets Windows PCs, the Kompanio Ultra focuses on Chromebooks, a segment that is growing rapidly thanks to its affordable price and impressive battery life. Will MediaTek "dethrone" Qualcomm in the AI field? The answer will probably depend on the actual performance when the product reaches users.
