MediaTek MT8188J
MediaTek MT8188J is the octa-core chip in Amazon's 2023 Fire Max 11: two Cortex-A78 cores at 2.2GHz, six Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0GHz and a two-core Mali-G57 GPU. MediaTek does not sell it under a Kompanio or Dimensity name; the similarly numbered MT8188 is the Kompanio 838, with 2.6GHz A78 cores and a three-core GPU.
Pros
- Eight cores: two Cortex-A78 at 2.2GHz and six Cortex-A55 at 2.0GHz
- In review testing, the Fire Max 11 scored 949 single-core and 2,363 multi-core in Geekbench 6
- Mali-G57 MC2 GPU clocked at 950MHz, per Amazon's developer spec sheet
- The Fire Max 11 pairs it with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 and 4GB of LPDDR4 memory
Cons
- Not marketed under a Kompanio or Dimensity name, and MediaTek publishes no spec sheet for it
- Its A78 cores top out at 2.2GHz and its GPU has two cores, against 2.6GHz and three cores on the Kompanio 838 (MT8188)
- Graphics are limited to a two-core Mali-G57; the Fire Max 11's median 3DMark Wild Life Extreme score is 320
- MediaTek and Amazon do not publish its process node, memory bandwidth or AI performance
