MediaTek's Kompanio Ultra Chip Brings Desktop-Level AI to Chromebooks

MediaTek's Next Chip Empowers Chromebooks to Be AI Agent Ready

I've been covering technology and mobile for 12 years, first as a telecommunications reporter and assistant editor at ZDNet in Australia, then as CNET's West Coast head of breaking news, and now in the Thought Leadership team. MediaTek has released chips to power Android phones for years and broken into the laptop PC space in recent times too. Now, it's got a new chip aimed at another market -- Chromebooks -- to empower those affordable machines to connect to the latest generative artificial intelligence agents. Previous MediaTek chips in the Kompanio line powered Chromebooks like the Lenovo Duet 11. Its new silicon, the Kompanio Ultra, brings faster speeds and better generative AI performance to affordable ChromeOS-powered laptops. In the arms race to empower portable PCs with artificial intelligence, MediaTek's chip aims to make cheaper machines capable of handling cutting-edge "AI agents" that use generative AI to anticipate user needs. "We worked closely with Google to ensure the newest Chromebook Plus devices enjoy next-generation on-device AI capabilities, superior performance per watt and immersive multimedia," said Adam King, MediaTek VP and GM of computing and multimedia. In a briefing, MediaTek boasted benchmarks that pitted its new Kompanio Ultra chip against the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U chip (which powers laptops like the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4), saying its Chromebook silicon performs better in devices to get over 4 hours longer battery life and up to 40% faster GPU performance in the GFXBench Manhattan benchmark. The Kompanio Ultra's NPU is capable of up to 50 trillion operations per second (a metric of AI performance), which is nearly five times greater than the 11 TOPS of the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U, MediaTek said. The Kompanio Ultra inherits a lot of DNA from MediaTek's latest mobile chip, the Dimensity 9400, which was introduced last fall as part of the company's big push to enable AI agents in phones. But the Kompanio's different software and drivers specialize it for Chromebooks, even if its higher performance capabilities put it more in line with Google's Chromebook Plus requirements for ChromeOS laptops empowered by the search giant's Gemini AI.

Mediatek wants to make Chromebooks more like Copilot+ PCs

Arm-based silicon to help Google hardware muscle in on territory of Microsoft's own Arm-based PCs MediaTek is bringing out a new chip for Chromebooks that blurs the boundary with Copilot+ PCs, sporting an 8-core CPU cluster and a neural processing unit (NPU) rated at 50 TOPS. The Taiwanese chipmaker says its Kompanio Ultra 910 system-on-chip (SoC) is intended to bring on-device AI capabilities and computing performance to Chromebook Plus devices. It features what MediaTek calls an "All Big Core" CPU cluster, comprising all Arm-designed cores. There's a performance Cortex-X925 core clocked at up to 3.62 GHz, 3x Cortex-X4, and 4x Cortex-A720 cores. Also on board is an Arm Immortalis G925 GPU and Wi-Fi 7 support, but it is the NPU that the company claims sets this latest silicon apart from other Chromebook processors. MediaTek's literature says it will support generative AI models and AI Agents, providing higher speed and greater power efficiency by offloading workloads from the CPU and GPU. Users can expect real-time task automation, personalized computing, AI-enhanced workflows, and supposedly still enjoy an all-day battery life, according to Mediatek. MediaTek says it worked with Google to support the newest Chromebook Plus devices, and the models powered by the Kompanio Ultra chip will be available "in the coming months." Those models will have a specification that seems not far removed from some Arm-based Copilot+ PCs. At the CES show in January, rival chipmaker Qualcomm talked up the Snapdragon X platform which has an 8-core CPU and a 45 TOPS NPU, and is expected to power Windows Copilot+ PCs in the $600 range. Given that some Chromebook Plus models already cost this much, devices based on Kompanio Ultra 910 are likely to be going head-to-head with Windows laptops - albeit Arm-based designs that can't run the full corpus of Windows applications. Quite a departure from the image of Chromebooks as the "cheap-and-cheerful" choice of students everywhere. And if you were questioning why anyone in the market for a Chromebook would want AI capabilities, that boat has already sailed; generative AI features were added to the Chromebook Plus platform by Google last year, including its Gemini chatbot. ®

Thanks to MediaTek's latest chip, Chromebooks are set to gain desktop-level AI capabilities

Summary MediaTek announced the powerful Kompanio Ultra SoC for Chromebooks today. The new chipset, built on an efficient 2nd gen TSMC 3nm process, features NPU 890 silicon for AI tasks. Chromebook Plus devices with the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra chipset are set to be released in the coming months. Over the past few months, Windows and Macs have adopted powerful AI chips, leaving Chromebooks behind. However, that's set to change. MediaTek has now announced its plans to give an AI boost to upcoming Chromebooks with its new Kompanio Ultra SoC. Given that Chromebooks aren't traditionally meant for power users and are typically seen as devices for basic tasks, this marks a significant shift. Related Chromebook vs. laptop: Which device is right for you? Chromebooks and Windows or macOS laptops look similar but have some major differences. Posts Chromebooks Plus devices are set to get a massive power boost The new Kompanio Ultra, announced today via a press release, is built on an efficient 2nd gen TSMC 3nm process. The company claims it's the best of the best in the Chromebook market currently and is MediaTek's most powerful Chromebook processor to date. The chipset is equipped with an "all-big-core CPU architecture," featuring one Cortex-X925 at 3.62GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores, and four Cortex-A720 cores. This is essentially identical to the Dimensity 9400 mobile chipset, just in a Chromebook. Unlike the Dimensity, which has a 12-core configuration for the Immortalis-G925 GPU, the Kompanio Ultra has an 11-core configuration instead. This boosts performance by up to 18% compared to the competition, according to the company, and uses only half the power. This could potentially enable all-day battery life on Chromebooks without sacrificing performance, which is a change we're sure everyone will welcome with open arms. MediaTek claims that with the Kompanio Ultra chip, you can expect up to 29% longer battery life than the Intel Core Ultra 5 115U, all while using the same 60Wh battery. Image Credit: MediaTek With the NPU 890 silicon capable of 50 TOPs, the Ultra chip will handle all on-device AI tasks, meaning it'll work seamlessly with Google Gemini models. Given how closely Gemini has been integrated into Google Workspace and the fact that AI capabilities for Chromebooks haven't been highlighted much, this is certainly great news. The chip supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 and features multi-display support for up to two external 4K displays. It can also handle 60fps gaming for top Android titles, so you can rest easy if you enjoy a bit of gaming on the side. New Chromebook Plus devices are set to be equipped with the new MediaTek Kompanio Ultra chipset, which will be available in the coming months. While this does mean you'll have to wait a couple of months, the wait definitely seems worth it.

Chromebooks get an AI upgrade with MediaTek's new Kompanio Ultra chip

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust. What just happened? The race to integrate artificial intelligence into every facet of technology has reached the Chromebook market, with MediaTek unveiling its most advanced system-on-chip. Dubbed the Kompanio Ultra, this new SoC is designed to bring on-device AI capabilities to Chromebooks. At the heart of this product is MediaTek's 8th-generation neural processing unit, which delivers 50 TOPS (trillions of operations per second) of AI processing power. To contextualize this achievement, the Kompanio Ultra's NPU outpaces Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite - used in some Windows laptops - which offers 45 TOPS, and far exceeds Intel's Core Ultra 285HX, which delivers 13 TOPS. While these comparisons aren't equivalent due to differences in architecture and target markets, they underscore the raw AI processing power MediaTek has packed into its latest chip. The Kompanio Ultra uses a 3-nanometer manufacturing process and features an eight-core CPU. This includes a high-performance Arm Cortex-X925 core clocked at up to 3.62GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores, and four Cortex-A720 cores. Complementing the CPU is an 11-core Immortalis-G925 MC11 GPU, which supports ray tracing for improved graphics rendering and LPDDR5X-8533 memory for faster data access. MediaTek claims the chip can easily handle intensive applications such as video editing, content creation, and high-resolution gaming. The company says users can expect smooth multitasking and lag-free performance, even in demanding scenarios. The Kompanio Ultra reportedly maintains a consistent 60 frames per second in the top 10 Android games while offering up to 18 percent faster CPU performance and consuming up to 50 percent less power than competitors like Intel's Core Ultra 5 125U CPU. The chip also comes with several advanced features aimed at enhancing user experience. These include support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity, the ability to drive three 4K displays simultaneously (one built-in and two external), and support for 4K60 video decoding and encoding across multiple formats. Additionally, MediaTek promises extended battery life for all-day computing without frequent recharges. John Solomon, Vice President and General Manager of ChromeOS and Google for Education, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership with MediaTek. He said the Kompanio Ultra will open new avenues for on-device AI features on Chromebook Plus devices "while delivering awesome power efficiency for those crucial extra hours while on the go." MediaTek has confirmed that Chromebooks equipped with the Kompanio Ultra will be available in the coming months.

This overkill chip opens the door to enhanced Gemini on Chromebooks

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. The company also confirmed in a media briefing that this Chromebook Plus chip supports Gemini, but added that we'd hear more about Gemini on Chromebooks at a Google event next month. For what it's worth, Chromebook machines already support features like the ability to chat with Gemini from the shelf. Meanwhile, Chromebook Plus models also gain additional AI features like Live Translate, a recorder app with automatic transcriptions and speaker labels, and Help Me Write functionality. Nevertheless, it sounds like Google has more Gemini-related features up its sleeve for Chromebooks with improved AI capabilities.

MediaTek's 'Ultra' Chromebook chips promise killer Minecraft power

AI, performance, long battery life: These are all the selling points of MediaTek's new Kompanio Ultra processors. MediaTek launched the Kompanio Ultra as the company's premium Chromebook processor on Wednesday, predicting that it will easily offer the highest Minecraft performance of any Chromebook chip while bringing AI to the platform, too. Essentially, MediaTek launched the Kompanio Ultra to help answer the question: Which Chromebook should I buy? Besides Google's own Chromebook Plus brand, there aren't too many answers. Instead, the list of Chromebooks is a hodgepodge of various processors, including the Intel Celeron, Pentium, and Core processors; AMD's A-series and Ryzen chips, and Arm processors like the Qualcomm Snapdragon and the existing MediaTek Kompanio 500 and 800 series. Google launched the Chromebook Plus specification to help clarify matters, but it certainly doesn't help to differentiate the performance each chip can offer. MediaTek isn't that well known, either. All of that sparked the need for a MediaTek "Ultra" brand, said Adam King, the vice president and general manager of computing and multimedia business for MediaTek, in a conference call with reporters. Around 2021, MediaTek tried the Kompanio 1000 chip, which fizzled. "We decided, if we were going to try again, we would," King said. "We wouldn't hold anything back. We would put the absolute best that we could out there, even knowing that it might not necessarily drive tremendous volume." The Kompanio Ultra is an 8-core Arm CPU, on a 3nm process technology. It's based upon a single Arm Cortex 3.62GHz X925 ultraperformance core, along with three Arm Cortex X4 performance cores and four Arm Cortex A720 efficiency cores. Those cores are paired with an 11-core Immortalis-G925 GPU that can perform ray tracing and output to three 4K displays at 60Hz while performing 10-bit 4K60 video encoding and decoding using the HEVC/AVC codecs. It uses an undisclosed amount of LPDDR5X memory. The chip supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0. More importantly, the Ultra chip includes an NPU capable of 50 TOPS, leaving it able to perform whatever NPU-centric functions a Chromebook can throw at it. AI capabilities have pretty much ignored the Chromebook entirely, save for Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors. Executives claimed that the Kompanio Ultra 910, the first chip in MediaTek's new product class, could easily outperform Intel's leader, Intel Core Ultra 5 115U and 125U, in the Chromebook space. The Ultra offers 18 percent faster single-thread performance and 40 percent more multi-thread performance, respectively. More importantly, the Ultra 910 can deliver 250 percent the frame rate of the 125U while playing Minecraft, MediaTek executives said, a key metric for elementary-school age kids. If you're looking for the best Minecraft or Roblox Chromebook for your kids, you might want one with a Kompanio Ultra chip inside it. Users don't need to trade off performance for battery life, either; MediaTek claims that the chip will deliver 20 hours of battery life on a 60Wh battery. In fact, if there's one area that's been ignored within Chromebooks, it's AI. King said that it's likely that Google will address this in its May event, Google I/O. (Could Google announce a Chromebook Ultra then?) MediaTek executives said that the Kompanio Ultra won't appear in Windows on Arm PCs, however, nor on tablets. So while we still expect MediaTek to eventually challenge Qualcomm in PCs, that will have to wait for another day...although that day doesn't appear that far off, either.

MediaTek announces Kompanio Ultra for upcoming Chromebooks

Even though Chromebooks run on little power compared to some high-end laptops on the market, MediaTek is planning on giving the genre a big AI-centric boost with a new MediaTek Kompanio Ultra SoC. The new chip is built on a 3nm process and offers some serious power for upcoming Chromebooks. The Kompanio Ultra chipset is being positioned as the best of the best in the Chromebook market. There have not been any big Chromebook announcements as of yet, but the new SoC might mean more are on the horizon. MediaTek notes that new Chromebook Plus devices would be equipped with the chipset. According to MediaTek, the new Kompanio Ultra consists of an "all-big-core" architecture with 8 Arm cortex-X925 cores and no small support units. MediaTek says this boosts performance up to 18% compared to the competition while using half the power. If this stands, that's a large boost for Chromebooks that stay powered for longer. The Kompanio Ultra is also set up to work well with Google Gemini. An 8th-gen NPU onboard can handle current AI loads with faster processing and power efficiency with 50 TOPS of AI power. All that's to say the chipset will work well with Gemini models, especially as much as they've become tied into how Chromebooks operate on Google Workspace. As more features become available using AI, the Kompanio Ultra looks to be the best chance for flawless performance. As it stands, Google is already beginning to replace Google Assistant with Gemini on Chromebooks. MediaTek also notes that the Kompanio Ultra can handle 60fps gaming for top Android titles and up to two external 4K displays, which is a nice touch. Of course, Wi-Fi 7 capabilities are included. At the end of the day, Chromebooks aren't meant to be powerhouses, but this chipset is certainly trying to change that. Chromebooks with the new Kompanio Ultra SoC will be available "in the coming months."

MediaTek's Kompanio Ultra chip pits Chromebooks against Copilot PCs

Table of Contents Table of Contents All the firepower in the world Going all-in for Chrome OS MediaTek has today launched a new silicon for Chrome OS devices, one that puts it roughly in the same performance league as the Copilot+ PCs hawked by Windows ecosystem players. The latest from MediaTek is the Kompanio Ultra, a top-of-the-line processor that takes an all-big-core approach to deliver flagship performance. The big bet behind all that firepower? AI, of course. To that end, the chip is touted to deliver 50 TOPS of AI processing power. For perspective, Qualcomm's top-end Snapdragon X Elite silicon maxes out at 45 TOPS, and similar is the baseline that Microsoft has set for processors supplied by AMD and Intel for Copilot+ machines. Recommended Videos The cores at play here follow the newest Armv9 CPU architecture, arranged in a tri-cluster format. Leading the charge is a prime Cortex-X925 core with a peak frequency of 3.62GHz. Tagging alongside are a trio of Cortex-X4 cores and four Arm Cortex-A720 cores. All the firepower in the world In terms of standout capabilities compared to other Kompanio processors in the 8xx and 5xx series, the Ultra (9xx series) silicon enables on-device AI processing. Think of it as the same approach as the one Google deploys for Gemini Nano to run locally on the Pixel smartphones. The net benefit is faster output at tasks like image generation, less latency, and data security. MediaTek touts capabilities such as on-device image and video generation, support for small and large language models (SLM and LLMs), and improved resource allocation for AI tasks, thanks to an improved AI accelerator chip. It's the first MediaTek Kompanio series silicon that can support dual 4K external monitors. It also enables support for fast LPDDR5 memory with a peak bandwidth of 8,533 Mbps and the UFS 4.1 storage standard. Going all-in for Chrome OS On the graphics front, Arm's Immortalis-G925 MC11 runs the show, opening the doors for features such as 10-bit 4K 60fps video encoding and decoding. Based on TSMC's second-gen 3-nanometer process node, the GPU aboard the Kompanio Ultra silicon supports ray-traced visuals for gaming. There's also a dedicated Hi-Fi Audio DSP for high-res audio output and enabling support for tricks like low-power, always-on standby mode for summoning voice assistants. On the connectivity front, it again goes for summit by embracing WiFi-7 (up to 7.3Gbps) and Bluetooth 6.0 standard. MediaTek says the first Chrome OS devices powered by the Kompanio Ultra processor will hit the shelves in the coming months. It would be interesting to see if they can undercut Copilot+ PCs in the lower-end segment and push Gemini-powered Chromebooks into the AI computing mainstream.

Kompanio Ultra is MediaTek's big bet on Chromebook AI performance - Phandroid

MediaTek's gunning for the high end of the Chromebook market, and this time, it's all about Chromebook AI performance. Its new Kompanio Ultra chip isn't just another spec bump. It's a massive upgrade over its previous models. The numbers look solid on paper: 50 TOPS of AI horsepower, 3.62GHz Arm Cortex-X925 CPU, and a sleek 3nm build. But specs are just the hook. What matters here is intent. MediaTek wants Chromebooks to stop being the punchline in conversations about real productivity. What you're really getting is something that turns AI-enhanced tools -- from transcription to real-time automation -- into offline, secure, on-device features. This means there's no cloud, which also means no lag and less waiting around for things to happen. They've tuned this for multitasking and media, too, with support for two 4K external displays, Hi-Fi audio, and Wi-Fi 7 baked in. It's a setup that deserves serious consideration, especially if your workflow has been stuck in Chrome tab purgatory. And yes, battery life should hold up. MediaTek has a track record of squeezing power out of less, and the 3nm process plus smarter power management means you can expect long sessions without desperately eyeing the charger. The question isn't whether this chip can perform. It's whether Chromebook makers will actually build machines around it that deserve the power.

MediaTek's Kompanio Ultra 910 Is A 3nm Snapdragon X Elite-Like Chipset With An 'All Performance Cores' CPU Cluster, LPDDR5X RAM Support Up To 8,533MHz & More, But For Chromebooks

The Dimensity 9400 is substantial proof that MediaTek is no longer a company that is sidelined to deliver entry-level and mid-ranged chipsets, but that does not explain why the company has not introduced a Snapdragon X Elite competitor, or, at the very least, a Snapdragon X Plus one. Turns out it has, but this SoC will be found in a completely different set of machines for whatever reason. The Kompanio Ultra 910 is the newest release from the Taiwanese firm, and looking at its specifications, we are definitely excited about what comes next. Chromebooks featuring the Kompanio Ultra 910 will be available in the coming months, but the latest chipset release sounds like a missed opportunity for MediaTek The Kompanio Ultra 910 is fabricated with the best available technology, with MediaTek stating that the silicon is mass produced on TSMC's second-generation 3nm process, the same one utilized for Apple's M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max. Thanks to the improved efficiency of this manufacturing process, the Kompanio Ultra 910 sports no low-power cores, with its 8-core configuration sporting a Cortex-X925 operating at up to 3.62GHz, a Cortex-X4 and Cortex-A720. Additionally, the chipset can achieve a high bandwidth as it supports LPDDR5X RAM up to 8,533MHz. The new chipset also flaunts impressive AI capabilities thanks to MediaTek's eight-generation NPU, which delivers up to 50TOPS AI performance and faster LLM speculative speed support. Even though the Chromebooks outfitted with the Kompanio Ultra 910 are not intended for gaming, MediaTek claims that the 11 GPU cores belonging to the Immortalis-G925 deliver 'PC-grade raytracing capabilities' but did not provide any benchmarking results. The Kompanio Ultra 910 can also support up to two 4K external monitors to boost productivity, with inclusion of Wi-Fi 7 up to 7.3Gbps and Bluetooth 6.0. For all of its capabilities, it is surprising that MediaTek's latest silicon will only be found in Chromebooks later this year. It is possible that Qualcomm's and Microsoft's exclusive agreement of only using the former's Snapdragon range of chipsets prevents competitors like MediaTek from stepping foot into this realm. Fortunately, the Taiwanese fabless semiconductor manufacturer has an ace up its sleeve by partnering with NVIDIA to debut an AI PC in the second half of 2025, with the impending release likely stirring up the competition to newfound levels.
