today mediatek held their summit and
0:02
talked about all sorts of things from
0:03
smart home devices to smartphones
0:06
all the stuff that their chips power but
0:08
right there in the middle of it
0:09
they talked about chromebooks and a
0:11
couple chromebook chips specific
0:13
chromebook chips that they're going to
0:14
be bringing to market in 2021
0:16
and for those of us that are chromebook
0:18
fans this is some pretty important stuff
0:25
before we get into those chips and why
0:27
those things are important
0:28
we did want to make sure that you are
0:30
aware that we are giving away a lenovo
0:32
chromebook duet that is powered by
0:33
mediatek and was provided by mediatek in
0:35
the lead up to this summit
0:36
if you want to learn more about that and
0:38
how you can get entered to win hit the
0:40
link in the description so
0:41
let's break this down into two sections
0:43
a what was announced and then b
0:44
why it matters what was announced is
0:46
just two new chips for mediatek that are
0:49
completely for chromebooks the mediatek
0:54
and mt-8195 those two chips will join
0:58
mt 8183 that is in devices like the
1:02
lenovo chromebook duet
1:03
and between the three of them will now
1:05
have kind of an entry level
1:07
low end a little bit slower but way more
1:10
a medium range chip in the 8192 and then
1:12
a high-end chip in the 81.95 so as the
1:16
i don't know probably 18 to 24 months
1:17
roll around we're gonna see mediatek
1:21
so chromebooks from all sorts of
1:22
manufacturers made with mediatek chips
1:24
inside and that's probably going to mean
1:26
you're going to see one of these three
1:27
and you'll probably know that based on
1:29
the price knowing this we can kind of
1:31
derive some facts last year's 865 that's
1:34
in a ton of phones maybe in the phone
1:35
that's in your pocket right now
1:37
is using the cortex a77 cores the 855
1:41
that came before that that powers phones
1:42
like the pixel 4 or the oneplus 7t
1:46
was powered using the cortex a76 and so
1:49
on and so forth we moved down the line
1:51
each year getting this new large core
1:55
a again fill in the blank with whichever
1:58
arm that manufacturers use so knowing
2:01
there are a few things that mediatech
2:03
announced as they told us about these
2:04
new chips and confirmed these new chips
2:07
that's pretty important mainly that the
2:10
mt-8192 that we've been tracking for a
2:13
knew it was probably going to be an
2:14
increase in performance we just weren't
2:16
sure how good it was going to be it's
2:18
going to be built on the a76 the cortex
2:22
well if you were listening just a second
2:23
ago that means it's powered by the same
2:26
stuff that powers the snapdragon 855 and
2:29
if you know anything about phone
2:31
that thing is no slouch and even at this
2:34
the snapdragon 855 is by far
2:38
far more powerful than anything that has
2:40
been arm-based in a chromebook up to
2:42
this point it's not even close
2:43
and then we can apply the same logic to
2:45
the mt-8195 that they're saying is going
2:48
to come later on sometime in 2021
2:50
it's going to be powered with cortex a78
2:54
and if we line those up those are the
2:56
same cores that come in the not even yet
2:59
snapdragon 875 that will be the absolute
3:02
upcoming phones from samsung and
3:04
everyone else basically so over the
3:06
course of the next 12 to 24 months we're
3:08
going to have this lineup of chromebooks
3:10
that are powered by mediatek chips that
3:12
go anywhere from kind of low performance
3:15
budget friendly power sipping devices
3:18
like the lenovo chromebook duet
3:21
to who knows what because honestly we've
3:23
not seen arm processors this powerful in
3:25
chromebooks up to this date we've been
3:27
we've been waiting for qualcomm to do it
3:29
with snapdragon chips
3:30
we've been waiting around for some other
3:32
thing to break through and we've had
3:33
rock chips and we've had low-end
3:35
mediatek chips and these are things that
3:37
are powering phones from five and six
3:40
years ago that we have in chromebooks
3:42
we've just not understood what it will
3:44
look like to have a high-end
3:46
arm processor in a chromebook so that's
3:48
why all this is so important
3:50
not because we're gonna have three chips
3:51
for mediatek i mean that's cool i like
3:53
to see multiple arm chips from one
3:55
manufacturer what's gonna be really
3:57
awesome is the fact that we're not gonna
3:58
get these small little bumps in
4:00
performance that we've kind of seen with
4:02
arm chips on chromebooks
4:03
instead i think we're going to get
4:04
massive leaps in performance when the
4:08
it's going to be a huge step up from
4:10
what we currently have in arm powered
4:12
and then when the 8195 comes up it's
4:14
going to be a big step too
4:16
and it's going to be really awesome to
4:18
see a wide variance of form factors and
4:22
and performance in arm-based chromebooks
4:25
if what media tech has to say about it
4:28
they want to be the absolute name in
4:31
armed power chromebooks moving forward
4:34
from what we can see what they're
4:35
bringing and what they're offering with
4:38
i think they have a shot they know the
4:40
chromebook space they've been in the
4:42
chromebook space for many years now and
4:44
i think they have a step up on anybody
4:46
that makes an arm powered chromebook
4:48
just because of all of that wisdom and
4:50
understanding that they've gained over
4:51
the course of those years and now
4:53
now they finally have the firepower to
4:56
go along with all that knowledge but
4:57
guys that's been it for this one if you
5:00
go down there and hit the thumbs up
5:01
button hit that subscribe button and the
5:03
bell right next to it if you'd like to
5:04
be alerted when we make future videos
5:07
till next time we'll see
