NVIDIA made a slew of announcements today, with the most notable one being a return to making ARM-based processors starting with NVIDIA Grace for AI data centers. However, there was another ARM-related announcement that flew somewhat flew under the radar but could have a significant impact on a whole ecosystem of products – and specifically, Chromebooks. NVIDIA has joined hands with MediaTek to create SDKs that might eventually bring the power of GeForce RTX graphics to Chromebooks.

MediaTek has introduced its latest silicon – the MT9638 – a chip that is destined for budget-centric 4K smart TVs in the near future. The latest MediaTek offering brings some impressive features to the table such as AI-driven image quality enhancement, VRR (variable refresh rate) support, and MEMC (motion estimation and motion compensation) for graphics smoothing in real-time, a feature that we’ve lately seen on a host of high-end and mid-range TVs from the likes of Samsung, OnePlus and Xiaomi.
Smart TVs driven by the MediaTek MT9638 will arrive in Q2 2021.
The MediaTek MT9638 is a quad-core chip that comes with an upgraded APU which is claimed to boost processing times by 10x. It also brings support for an up-to-date multimedia suite that includes support for Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual X surround sound, and global HDR standards such as HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision HDR. Plus, it can drive up to 2304 backlight dimming zones to provide better control over reproducing lighting in complex scenery.
MediaTek also employs what it is calling AI-SR (super-resolution), AI-PQ (picture quality) & AI-AQ (audio quality) technologies, all of which combined to perform tasks such as noise reduction, optimized image quality parameters such as sharpness, and resolution upscaling to make objects on the screen look crisp. As for the MEMC technology, MediaTek claims that the MT9638 smart TV chip employs multi-frame blending to show visuals that match the TV’s native resolution.

And to ensure that smart TVs powered by MediaTek’s new chip are truly smart, it also allows OEMs to integrate the virtual assistant of their choice, complete with an always-on assistance convenience. Additionally, it can drive up to four far-field microphones and facilitates one-second resume when the assistant hotword is said. As far as connectivity goes, the MT9638 chip brings support for Gigabit-class Wi-Fi 6, with HDMI 2.1a and USB 3.0 standard also in tow.

MediaTek has today launched a new cellular modem – the M80 – which succeeds the M70 5G modem that was launched back in 2018. The biggest upgrade offered by the new M80 5G modem is support for mmWave 5G, alongside the Sub-6 GHz network on a single chip. It is claimed to be compatible with both SA (standalone) and NSA (non-standalone) architecture, and comes with a host of other features such as dual 5G SIM, dual 5G NSA and SA networks, and dual Voice over New Radio (VoNR) to name a few.
With the M80 5G modem, MediaTek is promising more reliable network coverage and higher power-efficiency as well. It supports 5G carrier aggregation with mixed duplex (TDD+FDD) as well as Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) – touted to be a cost-effective route for a more robust 5G rollout – to enable parallel use of LTE and 5G in the same frequency band and dynamically allocate resources based on bandwidth demand. The chipmaker is touting 7.67Gbps downlink and 3.76Gbp uplink peaks with its latest offering.
As far as support for radio access technology goes, the M80 5G modem is ready for 4G LTE Cat-19 DL up to 5CC, 5G NR (FR1) more than 2CC, 5G mmWave (FR2) up to 8C as well as FR1 + FR2 dual connectivity and carrier aggregation. Coming to the boost in power efficiency, the new cellular modem relies on MediaTek’s UltraSave Network Environment Detection and UltraSave OTA Content Awareness technologies for dynamically adjusting power configuration and operating frequency depending upon the network environment.
“The M80 also integrates MediaTek’s Dynamic Bandwidth Part (BWP) technology which is designed to optimize bandwidth use to accommodate light or heavy data throughput requests,” MediaTek adds. And to ensure that the modem remains active in a connected standby mode even if users are not using mobile data, the new MediaTek 5G modem relies on what the company calls Connected Mode DRX (C-DRX) technology. MediaTek has also been strengthening its portfolio of high-end 5G SoCs, launching the Dimensity 1100 and Dimensity 1200 processors earlier this month.
