Revolutionizing AI at the Edge
The MediaTek Genio 720 and 520 mark a new era for edge AI in the Internet of Things (IoT). These advanced platforms integrate MediaTek’s 8th-generation NPU, delivering powerful on-device generative AI capabilities. By fully accelerating transformer and CNN models, they enable faster and more efficient AI processing at the edge.
Unlike conventional IoT platforms, Genio 720 and 520 support high-speed LPDDR5 memory, offering an ideal environment for large language models (LLMs) such as Llama, Gemini, Phi, and DeepSeek.
This high-performance architecture allows seamless processing of data-intensive applications, making it a game-changer for telecom and industrial IoT solution.
Unifying AI Development with MediaTek NeuroPilot 8
Built within MediaTek’s unified hardware and software ecosystem, developers can leverage NeuroPilot 8 for a seamless write-once, run-everywhere approach. This compatibility ensures that existing AI models can be easily deployed across multiple applications and verticals. Additionally, support for NVIDIA TAO extends opportunities for telecom developers, granting access to the world’s top-performing Vision Transformers (ViTs).
Power-Efficient Design for Telecom and IoT Environments
Both Genio 720 and 520 are manufactured using a 6nm process, maximizing energy efficiency. Devices built on these chips can operate fanless, ensuring optimal performance even in off-grid scenarios. Their robust multimedia capabilities make them an excellent choice for smart retail, commercial displays, and interactive HMI applications.
By merging real-time AI processing with high-definition multimedia content, developers can create new immersive telecom experiences. From intelligent customer interfaces to interactive retail kiosks, the Genio 720 and 520 elevate IoT solutions.
Accelerating Deployment with Open Standard Module (OSM)
Getting started with Genio 720 and 520 is straightforward. MediaTek provides Open Standard Module (OSM) reference designs, significantly reducing development cycles and time to market. Developers can access comprehensive guidelines and module partnerships, expediting IoT deployments for telecom and enterprise solutions.
