TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Fabless chipmaker MediaTek unveiled its new Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) Genio platform and the first chip in this lineup, the Genio 1200, earlier this week.

The Genio 1200 is equipped with an octa-core CPU, five-core graphics, a dual-core AI processor, and advanced multimedia engines, according to MediaTek. It’s designed for smart home appliances, industrial IoT applications, and other AI-embedded devices.

MediaTek’s new AIoT chip can also process ultra-high definition displays and camera inputs from a variety of computer vision applications.
