8K TV processor for TV 2022

MediaTek has announced a new processor chip for 8K TVs in early 2022. This processor will be used by leading 8K TV manufacturers. I think we will see these processors in 8K TV models in 2022. You should know that TV manufacturers come up with their commercial names for the processors in TVs to increase the appeal of the products. Televisions actually use processors developed by specialized companies such as MediaTek.

Features of the MediaTek Pentonic 2000

What makes this processor stand out, of course, other than support for 8K resolution.

• AI-super resolution 8K
• 2nd generation AI-Picture scene recognition
• Object recognition with 3rd generation AI-Picture quality

The MediaTek Pentonic 2000 supports the connection of up to four directional microphones, which in addition to AI-Voice technologies allows TV manufacturers to provide voice assistant services, direct voice control and smart home integration. Four HDMI 2.1 ports (this 8K standard can only be transmitted via HDMI 2.1). Implemented Wi-Fi 6E support provides an ultra-fast Internet connection suitable for streaming 8K content. The processor is versatile and 5G connectivity can be added if needed, requiring an optional M.2 card based on the MediaTek T700, greatly expanding the range of ultra-fast internet connectivity and potential uses.
