MediaTek today announced several different processors that target a handful of industries.
The MT2523 packages together an MCU, GPS, Bluetooth LE, and PMU into a single piece of silicon for wearables. An ARM Cortex M4 forms the low-power processor.
MediaTek says the MT2523 is 41% smaller than competing modules and can power small, but high-resolution screens with a full range of color. The MT2523 is intended for devices running operating systems less robust than Google’s Android Wear.
The chip will become available during the first half of the year. MediaTek also announced the MT8581 processor for 4K Blu-ray players and the MT7697 for Internet of Things and home automation applications. MediaTek competes with Qualcomm and Samsung.
