MediaTek has officially released its latest automotive cockpit processor, the Dimensity Cockpit P1 Ultra. Built on an advanced 4nm manufacturing process, the chip prioritizes high performance, robust AI capabilities, and enhanced in-car entertainment features. MediaTek says the first car models utilizing this chip will be launched soon.
MediaTek Dimensity P1 Ultra Specs
The P1 Ultra comes with a powerful 8-core CPU that delivers up to 175K DMIPS of computing power. For graphics, MediaTek has added a hardware-level ray-tracing GPU that offers up to 1800 GFLOPS of performance.
On the AI side, the P1 Ultra includes a dedicated NPU capable of 23 TOPS, and MediaTek says it can even run edge-side generative AI. Thanks to the Armv9 architecture and built-in AI units, the chip supports 7-billion-parameter large language models directly inside the car.
As a result, you can expect it to handle features like advanced voice assistants, multimodal interactions, on-device image generation (like Stable Diffusion), and even AI-based safety monitoring can run without needing cloud support.
MediaTek has also focused on reducing development time for automakers. The P1 Ultra integrates multiple components, including smart cockpit, connectivity modules, and T-BOX into a single platform.
It supports 5G, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS, and even includes a built-in modem. For cameras, there’s an HDR ISP with AI noise reduction, AI 3A, and other enhancements. This helps with features such as 360-degree surround view, driving recorders, and cabin monitoring.
For entertainment, the P1 Ultra supports up to six displays at the same time, and thanks to MediaTek’s MiraVision tech, it can handle 4K 60fps video playback and recording. This means cars can offer multi-screen setups for the driver, passengers, and rear-seat entertainment systems, all powered by a single chip.
MediaTek also confirmed that the Dimensity Cockpit P1 Ultra will come in three versions — 5G, 4G, and Wi-Fi models — all featuring an 8-core CPU and 6-core GPU.
