MediaTek chipsets power new Amazon devices

MediaTek has announced that its chipset solutions will power an array of Amazon consumer products, including the Amazon Fire TV, and Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 tablets.

The new Amazon Fire TV is powered by MediaTek's MT8173, a 64-bit quad-core processor and a multimedia SoC with ARM's Cortex - A72 cores. The Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 tablets are powered by MT8135, an up to 1.5 GHz quad-core processor.

"MediaTek and Amazon are focused on providing a premium user experience for consumers," said Joe Chen, senior VP of MediaTek. "With MediaTek's processing power at the core of these products, we're confident that Amazon customers will be better served in efficiency and performance."

The MT8173 meets growing demand for 4K Ultra HD content and graphic-heavy gaming, bringing incredibly fast performance to the Amazon Fire TV, according to the vendor.

Amazon has previously utilized MediaTek's line of chipsets for the Fire HD 6, Fire HD 7 and Fire HD Kids Edition tablets.
