MediaTek Genio 520 Gen-AI IoT Platform
MediaTek Genio 520 Gen-AI IoT Platform is a state-of-the-art solution for advanced IoT applications. The MediaTek platform features a highly efficient 6nm System-on-Chip (SoC) with an octa-core CPU, including 2x Arm® Cortex®-A78 processors running up to 2.2GHz. This platform excels in AI capabilities, delivering best-in-class 10 TOPS performance through the Neural Processing Unit (NPU), CPU, and GPU. It supports up to 16GB of LPDDR5 memory, making it ideal for large language models (LLMs). The Genio 520 can handle up to 5K high-detail single displays or dual active displays and offers 4K HEVC video decoding/encoding.
The MediaTek Genio 520 supports six FHD30 cameras with MIPI virtual channels and provides flexible high-speed I/O interfaces. Connectivity is robust with pre-integrated MediaTek Wi-Fi 6/6E solutions (Android only) and support for Wi-Fi 7 and 5G Redcap modules. The platform is versatile, supporting Android, Yocto Linux, and Ubuntu OS options, and features an Open Standard Module (OSM) design. Built to withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C, the platform ensures long product life and reliability.
