  • The MediaTek MT8123K is an affordable and efficient SoC designed for entry-level tablets and multimedia devices. Its quad-core architecture, combined with multimedia support and connectivity options, makes it ideal for basic tasks like browsing, streaming, and casual gaming. With an emphasis on power efficiency and low-cost design, the MT8123K offers essential functionality for budget-conscious consumers without compromising on core performance. This SoC is a suitable choice for manufacturers looking to create entry-level smart devices that provide reliable performance at an affordable price.

Product Description

The MT8123K is engineered for affordability while maintaining essential performance for basic applications. Its quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor offers reliable performance for tasks such as web browsing, media streaming, and running lightweight apps. With a clock speed of up to 1.3 GHz, it can handle day-to-day activities efficiently but is not intended for high-end processing tasks.

The Mali-400 MP2 GPU provides enough graphical power for HD video playback, casual gaming, and rendering simple 3D graphics. While it is not suitable for demanding games or complex graphic rendering, it ensures smooth video playback and decent graphics performance for budget devices.

In terms of multimedia capabilities, the MT8123K supports hardware video decoding for H.264 and VP8 formats, ensuring smooth video playback and streaming for HD content. However, its video encoding capabilities are limited to 720p, making it suitable for devices focused on consumption rather than content creation.

With support for up to 2 GB of LPDDR3 RAM and eMMC 4.5 storage, the MT8123K enables quick app loading and decent multitasking performance for entry-level tablets and smart devices. Its display engine can drive HD resolution (1280x720), which is ideal for devices in the budget category. Additionally, it supports Full HD video playback, ensuring compatibility with higher-resolution media content.

Connectivity options like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS ensure that devices powered by the MT8123K can connect to the internet, interact with wireless peripherals, and provide location-based services. These features enhance the versatility of the SoC for a wide range of consumer electronics, including tablets, media players, and IoT devices.

The MT8123K is built using a 28nm process, which helps to reduce power consumption and improve battery life in portable devices. This power efficiency is critical for devices that need to operate for extended periods without frequent recharging.
