MediaTek, which produces processors for many products of the mobile world, especially for smart phones, also designs chips for televisions. MediaTek Pentonic 2000, which will give life to current smart televisions, brings important innovations, especially energy efficiency, to its kind.
MediaTek’s new chip not only brings current standards, but also realizes a first among television chips. We have compiled the features of the chip for you.
MediaTek Pentonic 2000, the first TV processor in the 7nm range
MediaTek has announced the most powerful TV processor ever. The most striking aspect of this processor is that it has gone through the 7nm fabrication process. While seeing such a small transistor range in desktop processors, it is a first to see such a production in smart televisions.
The main features of Pentonic 2000 are as follows:
| Factory: 7nm transistor spacing |
| Maximum resolution: 8K |
| Maximum refresh rate: 120Hz |
| Connection: Wi-Fi 6E and 5G (built-in) |
| HDMI: 2.1 version |
| Codec: H. 266 support and other available standards |
Having a 7nm transistor gap in a television chip means a huge advantage in efficiency. Because the low power consumption brought by the low nanometer allows you to see the difference in electricity bills more clearly. Thanks to the low power consumption provided, manufacturers can be flexible in achieving higher performances.
Although 8K resolution is still considered a luxury, MediaTek Pentonic 2000 can offer 120Hz refresh rate along with this resolution. We can understand how performance the processor is from this claim. According to MediaTek’s announcement, this new generation chip will meet the consumer in the second quarter of 2022. Although we do not know from which manufacturers the televisions using this processor will come, this chip is a big step for smart televisions.
The next generation in smart TVs
Although many televisions in the smart television market currently support 4K resolution, 8K support is not avoided in the upper segment. With the emergence of the new generation game consoles, the demand for 8K increased and the demand for refresh rate also arose. Especially console players know that high refresh rates are essential for a smoother experience in games.
Although the MediaTek Pentonic 2000 is the first processor to combine 8K and 120Hz, other manufacturers will soon start making this claim.
