Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The MediaTek MT8176 processor is a well-considered solution for various devices requiring a balanced mix of processing power and energy efficiency. It's based on a clever combination of Cortex-A72 and Cortex-A53 cores, giving it remarkable versatility. It was manufactured using the proven 28 nm process, which at the time provided a solid foundation for chip production.

A clear advantage of this chip is the integrated PowerVR GX6250 graphics unit. This GPU enabled appealing display of multimedia content and also supported smooth playback of simpler games. With a maximum memory bandwidth of 15 GB/s, the MediaTek MT8176 could efficiently process data streams. We have repeatedly noticed how reliably this processor operates in its typical areas of application.

Its architecture was deliberately tailored to a broad application landscape. Even after several years, it remains a reliable component for devices that are intended to deliver stable and proven performance without aiming for peak values.
  • Balanced processor architecture (Cortex-A72 and Cortex-A53)
  • Integrated PowerVR GX6250 graphics unit
  • Reliable performance for everyday applications
