Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The MediaTek MT8312 was designed as a processor for mobile devices and found widespread use. It relied on the then widely used and particularly energy-efficient Cortex-A7 architecture. This design clearly focused on optimized battery life, which was crucial for portable devices like tablets and smartphones of its era.

The chip was manufactured using a robust 28-nanometer process. This significantly contributed to the processor's proverbial reliability and stable function. An integrated ARM Mali-400 unit was responsible for the graphics. It proved to be perfectly adequate for the multimedia tasks common at the time and the smooth playback of videos.

The MediaTek MT8312 thus delivered reliable performance for typical everyday applications. These included effortless internet browsing, email processing, and simple productivity programs. We have observed over the years how this processor always fulfilled its task, even with moderate use. It represented a very economical and at the same time trustworthy option for many entry-level devices that needed to offer a solid foundation.
