MediaTek has revealed a new Kompanio Ultra chip, designed for Chromebooks, but with the power of a flagship – indeed, its spec is very close to the Dimensity 9400 chip found at the top of its product offering.
That's an interesting development, as it suggests Google's Chromebook line – which recently expanded into more premium 'Chromebook Plus' offerings, with minimum specification thresholds – could be about to expand further, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and more power.
I was sat in a very interesting meeting only yesterday, in which MediaTek detailed its latest Kompanio Ultra chip to a group of journalists under embargo. Now, I wouldn't usually get all excited about the best Chromebooks – for which Kompanio is designed, specifically – as they tend to be simple student workhorses.
