You could probably say that for a lot of tech enthusiasts, MediaTek is best known for its Dimensity-series chips, which power a wide array of smartphones and tablets. That being said, the company also develops a line of dedicated IoT processors under its Genio line, which it recently expanded with the addition of the new MediaTek Genio Pro, Genio 420 and Genio 360.
Genio Pro
As you can probably tell, the Genio Pro series sits on top of the range, and is designed using a 3nm process. It also uses an all big-core setup with an Arm v9.2 configuration, a single Arm Cortex-X925, three Cortex-X4, and four Cortex-A720 cores. There’s also an Arm Immortalis-G925 GPU that’s capable of up to 3.1 TFLOPS of compute and graphics performance, and an 8th generation MediaTek NPU.
As it is also designed for robotics and drone applications, MediaTek has equipped the Genio Pro with support for up to 16 cameras, and display output support for up to three 4K displays. For software, the chip will be able to work with Linux-based operating systems.
Genio 420 and 360
Meanwhile, the Genio 420 is built on a 6nm process and supports up to 16GB of LPDDR5X memory while delivering 7.2 TOPS of AI acceleration. Additionally, it can support either dual 2.5K60 displays or a single 4K60 or UW5K60 setup.
For entry-level hardware, the Genio 360 and 360P are built to support generative AI capabilities and even core computing—the Genio 360 offers up to 6 TOPS of AI performance, while the 360P reaches 8.5 TOPS. Both Genio 360 models support 8GB of LP4X-3733 memory and advanced video encoding and decoding. They can also be configured to power a single 4K60 display or a dual FHD60 configuration.
As for availability, the Genio Pro will start sampling to customers in the first quarter of 2026, with production during the third quarter. Meanwhile, the Genio 420 will start sampling in April 2026, while the Genio 360 series is currently undergoing sampling.
