MediaTek has unveiled the Kompanio Ultra 910, a high-performance processor aimed at powering the next generation of Chromebooks. With a focus on balancing performance, AI capabilities, and energy efficiency, the chip is built on TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process node, allowing for improved battery life and more responsive computing in lightweight laptops.
At its core, the Kompanio Ultra 910 features an octa-core setup that includes a high-speed Arm Cortex-X925 core running at up to 3.62GHz, along with three Cortex-X4 cores and four Cortex-A720 cores. Together with 12MB of L3 cache and 10MB of system-level cache, this CPU architecture is engineered to manage both everyday tasks and more demanding workflows smoothly.
Graphics performance also sees a notable upgrade thanks to the inclusion of the Immortalis-G925 MC11 GPU. This 11-core graphics unit supports ray tracing and is designed to handle intensive visuals and gaming features increasingly relevant in Chromebook use cases.
To keep up with these capabilities, the Kompanio Ultra 910 supports LPDDR5X memory at speeds up to 8533Mbps, helping reduce latency between the CPU, GPU, and its integrated NPU. Benchmark scores put the chip around 2600 for single-core and 8000 for multi-core performance on Geekbench 6—solid figures for Chromebook hardware.
A key feature of this processor is its 8th-generation NPU, which delivers up to 50 TOPS (trillions of operations per second) for AI-related tasks. This includes real-time image and video generation, improved voice interaction, and general generative AI processing. The advanced NPU architecture also helps reduce strain on the CPU and GPU by offloading specific workloads, contributing to overall system efficiency.
Connectivity is another strong point for the Kompanio Ultra 910. With integrated Wi-Fi 7 support offering speeds up to 7.3Gbps and dual-engine Bluetooth 6.0, devices using this chipset will be better equipped for stable, high-speed wireless performance—an essential feature in always-connected Chromebook environments.
On the multimedia front, the chip can support up to three 4K displays simultaneously—ideal for multitasking and external display setups. It includes hardware support for decoding and encoding 4K 10-bit video in formats like HEVC, VP9, AV1, and AVC. For audio, dedicated Hi-Fi DSPs handle both sound quality and low-power voice detection, making it suitable for voice assistant applications and media consumption.
The Kompanio Ultra 910 positions itself as a capable option for Chromebook makers looking to deliver more versatile, AI-capable laptops with better battery life, faster connectivity, and improved user experiences in both productivity and entertainment.
