Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The MediaTek MT8125 was a popular processor in its time, especially for tablets and other mobile devices. It was based on the efficient Cortex-A7 architecture, which offered remarkably good energy efficiency. This was crucial for long battery life, a real plus for on the go. The integrated PowerVR SGX544 graphics unit ensured that the chip was well equipped for multimedia content.

This allowed you to watch videos smoothly and also enjoy the occasional simple game. With manufacturing in the 28 nm process, it was possible to produce a quite compact and energy-saving chip. That was an important aspect for slim device designs back then. The 1 MB L2 cache helped the CPU to execute everyday applications quickly.

We have seen how this processor delivered solid performance in many devices. It offered a balanced base for its product class. The MediaTek MT8125 represented a truly reasonable choice for its applications. It made it possible to confidently serve basic user needs.
  • Energy-efficient Cortex-A7 architecture
