MediaTek MT8163
MediaTek MT8163 is an entry-level tablet chip announced in 2015, with four 64-bit Cortex-A53 cores (up to 1.5GHz in the V/A version, 1.3GHz in V/B) and an Arm Mali-T720 MP2 GPU on a 28nm process. It handles Full HD displays and 1080p H.265 video decoding, and appears in tablets such as the ASUS ZenPad 10.
Pros
- Four 64-bit Cortex-A53 cores at up to 1.5GHz (V/A version) on a 28nm process
- Drives 1920x1080 displays and decodes H.264 and H.265/HEVC video at up to 1080p
- Dual-band Wi-Fi 4 (802.11 a/b/g/n) with Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and FM radio support on the platform
- Supports cameras up to 13MP and OpenGL ES 3.1 graphics
Cons
- Entry-level Arm Mali-T720 MP2 graphics
- Single-channel DDR3/LPDDR3 memory, roughly 6.4GB/s of bandwidth
- Display output and video capture are limited to 1080p, with no 4K support
- Two versions exist (V/A up to 1.5GHz, V/B up to 1.3GHz), so clock speeds differ between tablets
Awaiting benchmarks
No Inno Score yet: CPU and GPU still need a published benchmark result.
