MediaTek Ultra 910

Maximising Chromebook Performance with Agentic AI

The MediaTek Kompanio Ultra redefines Chromebook Plus laptops with all-day battery life and the greatest Chromebooks ever. By automating procedures, optimising workflows, and allowing efficient, secure, and customised computing, agentic AI redefines on-device intelligence.

MediaTek Kompanio Ultra delivers unrivalled performance whether you're multitasking, generating content, playing raytraced games and streaming, or enjoying immersive entertainment.

Features of MediaTek Kompanio Ultra

An industry-leading all-big core architecture delivers flagship Chromebooks unmatched performance.

Arm Cortex-X925 with 3.62 GHz max.

Eight-core Cortex-X925, X4, and A720 processors

Single-threaded Arm Chromebooks with the best performance

Highest Power Efficiency

Large on-chip caches boost performance and power efficiency by storing more data near the CPU.

The fastest Chromebook memory: The powerful CPU, GPU, and NPU get more data rapidly with LPDDR5X-8533 memory support.

ChromeOS UX: We optimised speed to respond fast to switching applications during a virtual conference, following social media feeds, and making milliseconds count in in-game battle. Nowhere is better for you.

Because of its strong collaboration with Arm, MediaTek can provide the latest architectural developments to foreign markets first, and the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra processor delivers the latest Armv9.2 CPU advantage.

MediaTek's latest Armv9.2 architecture provides power efficiency, security, and faster computing.

Best in Class Power Efficiency: The Kompanio Ultra combines the 2nd generation TSMC 3nm technology with large on-chip caches and MediaTek's industry-leading power management to deliver better performance per milliwatt. The spectacular experiences of top Chromebooks are enhanced.

Best Lightweight and Thin Designs: MediaTek's brand partners can easily construct lightweight, thin, fanless, silent, and cool designs.

Leading NPU Performance: MediaTek's 8th-generation NPU gives the Kompanio Ultra an edge in industry-standard AI and generative AI benchmarks.

Prepared for AI agents

Superior on-device photo and video production

Maximum 50 TOPS AI results

ETHZ v6 leadership, Gen-AI models

CPU/GPU tasks are offloaded via NPU, speeding processing and saving energy.

Next-gen Generative AI technologies: MediaTek's investments in AI technologies and ecosystems ensure that Chromebooks running the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra provide the latest apps, services, and experiences.

Extended content support

Better LLM speculative speed help

Complete SLM+LLM AI model support

Assistance in several modes

11-core graphics processing unit: Arm's 5th-generation G925 GPU, used by the powerful 11-core graphics engine, improves traditional and raytraced graphics performance while using less power, producing better visual effects, and maintaining peak gameplay speeds longer.

The G925 GPU matches desktop PC-grade raytracing with increased opacity micromaps (OMM) to increase scene depths with subtle layering effects.

OMM-supported games' benefits:

Reduced geometry rendering

Visual enhancements without increasing model complexity

Natural-looking feathers, hair, and plants

4K Displays & Dedicated Audio: Multiple displays focus attention and streamline procedures, increasing efficiency. Task-specific displays simplify multitasking and reduce clutter. With support for up to three 4K monitors (internal and external), professionals have huge screen space for difficult tasks, while gamers and content makers have extra windows for chat, streaming, and real-time interactions.

DP MST supports two 4K external screens.

Custom processing optimises power use and improves audio quality. Low-power standby detects wake-up keywords, improving voice assistant response. This performance-energy efficiency balance improves smart device battery life, audio quality, and functionality.

Hi-Fi Audio DSP for low-power standby and sound effects

Support for up to Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 provides extreme wireless speeds and signal range for the most efficient anyplace computing.

Wi-Fi 7 can reach 7.3Gbps.

Google's CR-48 Prototype Chromebook (2010) - Time Travel

I'm pretty sure this was one of the models that I actually got for prerelease testing when AFAICT they were still keeping that program employee only. (And my partner was still working for them.)

there is no way in hell-

so for about 9 months in the 6th/7th grade, i took my grandmother’s old phone from the kitchen of our house (she just kinda gave it to us cause she got a new one, it was an old-ass samsung) because nobody was using it, it was old and just sitting there. i kept it hidden in this like little nook in my bedframe and used it every night. that was one of the happiest times of my life, because i was actually updated frequently on shit that was happening in the world i cared about. and i did a damn good job of hiding it until my mom walked in on me using it during the day. we had an entire chat about how the internet was dangerous and shit. 

thing is, in 6th grade i would literally bring it to school. nearly everyone who had a class with me knew about it and how it wasn’t mine. i have no clue how my parents didnt find out. i even kept my parents out of the parent-teacher confrence that quarter because i was scared one of the teachers would mention the phone. and once it had been found, it vanished.

i figured they had thrown away, or maybe given back to my grandmother. maybe hidden somewhere deep in my parent’s room, which i am rarely in because the entire upstairs if our house is just their room and i have no reason to be up there. but today someone came to fix our dishwasher, and i have to keep our dogs up here so they don’t go apeshit on the guy. and i was placing down my milkshake... and i just spotted it.

sitting on my mother’s dresser. fairly visible. i think there used to be papers on top of it, because i’ve looked at her dresser plenty since 7th grade. its the same phone. it probably has all of my apps, and my screenshots of kiribaku fanart. it’s dead, but if i knew where the charger was, i may have not been able to keep myself from taking it. the nostalgia is the weirdest thing, because along with all the joy, there is a HEAVY, HEAVY guilt. but i know the feeling of that phone. i know where the paint is flaked on the sides, i think if someone told me to lick every phone in the house i would know it.
