MediaTek’s new processor comes with Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual X surround sound support. For connectivity, the chip has HDMI 2.1a and USB 3.0 along with Wi-Fi 6 support. Other important features include up to four far-field microphones, and support for voice assistant with low power consumption on standby. For memory, it has 48b DDR3 and 64b DDR3.

The latest chip follows MediaTek’s MT9602 processor, which had launched in October last year. The smart TV chip brought support for 4K HDR and features such as AI-PQ (picture quality) & AI-AQ (audio quality). Motorola was the first brand to announce a smart TV with the MT9602 processor.

MediaTek says it has sold more than 2 billion units of TV chips globally so far.
