kompanio

Kompanio is a family of system-on-chip (SoC) products developed by MediaTek, designed for portable computing devices such as Chromebooks, tablets, and compact laptops. The line was introduced as MediaTek expanded beyond smartphones into education-focused and low-power computing markets. Kompanio chips integrate CPU cores, a GPU, memory controller, and peripheral interfaces into a single die, enabling energy-efficient performance for everyday productivity, multimedia playback, and light content creation.

In terms of architecture and features, Kompanio SoCs emphasize power efficiency and long battery life. They are built around ARM-based cores with configurations that balance performance and consumption, and they typically include integrated media processing capabilities, hardware acceleration for video and image tasks, and on-device AI processing features. Connectivity and peripheral support are consolidated on the chip, with common options for wireless communication and display interfaces within a single package.

Market adoption for the Kompanio family has focused on Chromebooks and other entry-level or education-oriented devices, as well as compact Windows or tablet form factors. The line is positioned to provide a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution for users who prioritize portability and all-day use, rather than high-end desktop performance.

Generations and evolution of Kompanio have seen improvements in CPU and GPU capabilities, efficiency, and integrated features to better support everyday productivity, multimedia workloads, and learning applications. The family continues MediaTek’s strategy to diversify beyond mobile phones into computing devices and education markets.
