MediaTek Kompanio 1380 announced, aimed at premium Chromebooks. A brand new model of MediaTek’s Kompanio chipset range was announced and is aimed at high-end Chromebooks. Company 1380 is similar in specs to the previous Kompanio 1300T but lacks 5G connectivity.
The processor is built on 4x Arm Cortex A78 large cores, which can be clocked up to 3GHz, and 4x Arm-Cortex-A55 efficiency cores operating at speeds of up to 2GHz. The GPU part can be handled by Arm Mali G57, which comes a level up from the 1300T’s Mali G77 MC9.
