MediaTek has just announced a new chipset for two of Google’s favorite recent projects: Google Assistant and Android Things. The descriptively named MT8516 is a 64 bit ARM platform that includes wireless radios, designed specifically for voice assistants applications. It looks like Google has one more hardware partner behind Intel and Qualcomm for their future IoT plans.
The specifications include 2.4GHz radio support for b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0, and a quad-core A35 design running at 1.3ghz.
