MediaTek MT8169A
MediaTek MT8169A is a six-core Cortex-A55 chip at up to 2.0GHz with a Mali-G52 2EE MC2 GPU. Amazon introduced it in the 2022 Fire HD 8 and kept it in the 2024 Fire HD 8, which has 3GB or 4GB of RAM. It carries no Kompanio or Dimensity branding.
Pros
- Six Cortex-A55 cores at up to 2.0GHz; Amazon said the 2022 Fire HD 8 with this chip was 30% faster than the model it replaced
- Dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.2 in the Fire HD 8 (2024)
- Amazon lists support for both 32-bit and 64-bit apps
Cons
- Only efficiency-class Cortex-A55 cores, with no performance cores
- Entry-level Mali-G52 2EE MC2 GPU; the median 3DMark Wild Life Extreme score for the 2022 Fire HD 8 is 108
- No Kompanio or Dimensity branding and no MediaTek product page, so Amazon's developer spec sheet is the main maker source
Awaiting benchmarks
No Inno Score yet: CPU still needs a published benchmark result.
