It's already time for CES 2023 and first up we have MediaTek demoing consumer-ready next-gen WiFi 7 Filogic chips and unveiling its new Genio 700 chipset which will be used in IoT devices for smart homes and businesses.
WiFi 7
Utilizing record-breaking 320MHz channel bandwidth and 4096-QAM modulation, MediaTek's WiFi-7 solution brings a 50% reduction in power consumption, 25x lower CPU utilization, and 100x lower MLO switch latency when compared to competing options. MediaTek's new 6nm Filogic 880 and 380 chipsets will be used in products ranging from televisions, routers, laptops, tablets, streaming devices, and more. Brands such as AMD, Lenovo, ASUS, TP-Link, and HiSense are already on-board to use the chipset in upcoming devices.
“Last year, we gave the world’s first Wi-Fi 7 technology demonstration, and we are honored to now show the significant progress we have made in building a more complete ecosystem of products,” said Alan Hsu, corporate vice president and general manager of the Intelligent Connectivity Business unit at MediaTek. “This lineup of devices, many of which are powered by the CES 2023 Innovation Award-winning Filogic 880 flagship chipset, illustrates our commitment to providing the best wireless connectivity.”
Genio 700
Focused on the IoT segment, MediaTek's new Genio 700 chipset is manufactured using the 6nm process and sports a pair of ARM A78 cores @2.2GHz and six ARM A55 cores running at 2GHz. Aimed at devices for the smart home, business, and retail environments, the Genio 700 chipset supports FHD60+4K60 displays and also packs in an ISP for improved images. Its SDK lets designers customize products using Yocto Linux, Ubuntu, and Android.
