Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer MediaTek has announced a new chipset for tablets and ARM-powered laptops dubbed Kompanio 1300T. The chipset takes over from the Kompanio 1200 with model number MT8195 which was unveiled in November last year. 
The new chipset features a flagship architecture similar to the Dimensity 1200 smartphone chipset. In this light, it is built on TSMC’s 6nm node and utilizes an octa-core processor. The processor consists of four big Cortex-A78 cores and four small Cortex-A55 cores. The GPU saw the major upgrade as the chipset bundles a nano-core Mali-G77 MC9 GPU which is superior to the Mali G57 MC5 utilized by the Kompanio 1200.
Furthermore, the Kompanio 1300T is integrated with a sub-6 GHz bands 5G modem which supports dual-SIM and dual-channel carrier aggregation. It features support for two 1080p displays which isn’t bad considering that it is a chipset for tablets and laptops and not for dual-screen smartphones. However, for a single display, it supports a resolution of up to 1440p with a 120Hz refresh rate, as well as HDR10+ video playback. Combined with the 5G connectivity which brings a low-latency connection for video gaming, the display is well suited for gaming.
The new chipset also brings support for cameras with a maximum of 108MP sensors and 4K video recording at up to 60 fps. It also integrates an APU that enables features like AI Picture Quality (AI-PQ) and voice commands. The chip also supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.
MediaTek did reveal that the Kompanio 1300T will feature in tablets from the third quarter of this year (July-September). The company didn’t reveal the first tablet that would feature the chipset but a popular tipster Digital Chat Station had earlier confirmed that the Honor V7 Pro that is expected to be launched in mid-August will feature the 1300T.
