MT8117A/B

  • The MediaTek MT8117A/Bcx is a System on Chip (SoC) designed primarily for use in entry-level tablets and multimedia devices. While detailed documentation for the MT8117A/Bcx is less common, the key features, specifications, and characteristics of similar MediaTek chips in this range can provide a good understanding of the MT8117A/Bcx's capabilities. Similar to other entry-level chips, it integrates four ARM Cortex-A7 cores, providing sufficient power for basic tasks like web browsing, light multitasking, and video playback.It includes an integrated Mali-400 MP2 GPU, which is capable of handling light graphics tasks, such as video rendering, casual gaming, and supporting HD displays.

Product Description

The MT8117A/Bcx is expected to offer a balanced mix of basic processing power, multimedia support, and energy efficiency, suitable for entry-level tablets. The quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor provides an efficient performance for typical tasks that don’t require heavy processing power. This includes web browsing, video streaming, running social media apps, and other casual uses. Although it may not handle demanding tasks like heavy multitasking or high-end gaming, it is well-suited for light applications.

The Mali-400 MP2 GPU is an entry-level graphics processor capable of supporting HD resolution displays (1280 x 720), which is perfect for casual gaming and media consumption. The chipset supports H.264 video decoding, which ensures that HD videos are played smoothly, whether streamed from the internet or played from local storage.

With up to 1GB of LPDDR3 RAM, the MT8117A/Bcx provides enough memory to run basic apps and handle simple multitasking. Users can expect a reasonably smooth experience when using apps like web browsers, social media platforms, and video streaming services. However, more demanding apps may lead to performance slowdowns.

The camera support, typically up to 5 MP, is suitable for taking casual photos and video calling. Although it won’t replace a high-quality camera in more expensive devices, it provides essential functionality for users who want a basic camera for occasional snapshots and video chats.

For connectivity, the MT8117A/Bcx supports Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), enabling internet access and online browsing. Bluetooth 4.0 ensures compatibility with wireless peripherals like headphones and speakers, while GPS adds location services for navigation and location-based apps.

One of the key features of the MT8117A/Bcx is its energy-efficient design. The Cortex-A7 cores consume less power, which is especially beneficial for devices like tablets that are used for extended periods on a single charge. Battery life is typically a primary concern in budget devices, and the MT8117A/Bcx is optimized to deliver reasonable performance while consuming minimal power.
