Windows and Mac computers have gained powerful AI silicon in the last few years, but what about Chromebooks? Fortunately, MediaTek has announced a new Chromebook chip with impressive AI capabilities and general performance.
MediaTek revealed its new Kompanio Ultra chip today, and it’s effectively the Dimensity 9400 mobile chipset with a few small tweaks. Perhaps the most notable shared feature is the NPU 890 silicon for AI tasks, with the company saying it offers 50 TOPs of performance. The firm claimed that the AI performance is five times better than that of the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U (Meteor Lake) processor.
