Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The MediaTek MT8165 was once a widespread processor, reliably serving in numerous devices. It was based on the Cortex-A53 architecture, known for its remarkable energy efficiency. Manufactured using the then-common 28 nm process, this chip was frequently used in tablets and media players.

One of its strengths was the integrated graphics unit, the ARM Mali-T760 MP2. This provided convincing graphical performance, especially in media playback. Simpler applications or casual games also ran surprisingly smoothly on it. The MediaTek MT8165 always offered a stable basis for everyday digital use for its time.

It enabled a generally smooth user experience. We witnessed back then how this chip powered many entry-level and mid-range devices. Its balanced mix of features and cost made it a popular choice among manufacturers. The memory bandwidth of 6 GB/s was quite typical for this device class. It delivered purposeful performance, focused on efficiency and basic multimedia capabilities.

This processor always fulfilled its task with high reliability.
