Product Description
The MT8121V is designed for affordable tablets and multimedia devices that require a solid balance of performance, graphics, and energy efficiency. The quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor, with a clock speed of up to 1.3 GHz, provides a good level of performance for tasks like web browsing, media consumption, and light multitasking. The 32-bit architecture is compatible with a wide range of applications, making it suitable for entry-level devices that need to run older and modern apps efficiently.
The Mali-400 MP2 GPU integrated into the MT8121V offers decent graphics performance for basic gaming and smooth multimedia experiences. It handles video playback well, supporting HD (1280x720) resolution and Full HD (1080p) video decoding, making it ideal for video-centric devices such as tablets or multimedia players. However, it is not designed for heavy gaming or high-end 3D graphics.
The SoC supports hardware video decoding for H.264 and VP8 formats, ensuring smooth playback of common video streaming content. Video recording is supported up to 720p, making it a good fit for entry-level content creation devices or casual photography and video recording tasks.
With support for up to 2 GB of LPDDR3 RAM and eMMC 4.5 storage, the MT8121V delivers fast performance for lightweight applications and ensures smooth app loading times. The display capabilities support HD output (1280x720) and are capable of driving Full HD content for video playback, although most devices with this SoC typically feature HD displays.
Connectivity features such as Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS ensure that devices can connect to wireless networks, peripherals, and provide location-based services. These features make the MT8121V versatile for use in a variety of portable devices, including tablets, e-readers, and basic smart devices.
Built on a 28nm process, the MT8121V offers excellent power efficiency, which helps extend battery life. This is particularly important for portable devices like tablets and mobile media players, where users expect long usage times on a single charge.
