The chip that underpins all innovation is called Pentonic800, which allows for 165Hz VRR, improved AI processing, Wi-Fi7 and more. 

MediaTek announced the new chip in a blog post highlighting a more advanced internal structure that includes upgraded GPUs, CPUs, AI, and coprocessors.All of these, among many other enhancements, make some of the newer OLED models appetizing to upscaling advocates. 

MediaTek did not say when to expect the official launch of the Pentonic800 chip or on which TV you can experience it, but the prospect is one of the things that is very interesting.1 However, given the main use cases on Google Tv, there is a good chance that this new SoC will appear in the 2025 Sony, TCL, and Hisense models. 

As you may have never heard of it before, the Pentonic Soc is a Sony Bravia A1000 with MediaTek's PENTONIC95L (pictured above), and both 2023 and 2024 TCL TVs are kited with the pentonic700 chip, which is the best Google Tv staple, mainly for quality software compatibility. It is. 

However, the new Pentonic800 is set for a major upgrade, taking advantage of as much as 50% processing speed and a 60% reduction in memory bandwidth. The new SoC features a quad-core 1.8GHz Arm Cortex-A73CPU, Arm Mali-G557MC1GPU, and 64-bit DDR4RAM (3200Mbps). 

MediaTek sees the Pentonic800 as the pinnacle of super-resolution and image quality improvements, "offering an almost perfect restoration of content and details and elimination of noise and artifacts from broadcasts and Internet streams.""This will be possible thanks to the adaptive AI engine, which significantly improves the recognition parameters of objects and scenes.  As well as AI improvements, the Pentonic800 offers 165K support up to 4Hz VRR.

Currently, games are mostly relegated to 144Hz on most TVs, and some newer models, like the TCL QM8Mini-LED, can hit 240VRR at lower resolutions, while the Pentonic800 allows you to play games on TVs with 4K resolution at 165Hz VRR, even if the console is less than 120Hz. It will only be available if you pair it with one of the best gaming PCs because you can't even reach the higher one.1  If that's not enough, future TVs using Pentonic800 will also support Wi-Fi7 and will be much more advanced than TVs currently using Wi-Fi6 vs Wi-Fi6e. Wi-Fi7 aims to foretell the possibility of more robust wireless transfers, ensuring that data like streamed content lands on your TV much faster and smoother. 

The manufacturer has not said it will use the 800 chips yet, but given MediaTek's previous chips are widely adopted, we will see these in future sets of Sony, TCL and Hisense.
