When it comes to "Métis", many people think of the original goddess of wisdom in Greek mythology. In today's information society, small partners who are familiar with the industry must know that the “Mertis Award” means that the first technology and the most intimate application are the crystallization of high wisdom in the industry.

Every year, the "Mertis Award" is submitted by enterprises, and it is passed by the Chinese Communications Society, China Communications Standards Association, Mobile Intelligent Terminal Technology Innovation and Industry Alliance, China Information and Communication Research Institute and other industry-research institutions. A professional jury composed of experts from various experts will conduct a review. The professional level and gold content are self-evident. Therefore, the competition of the 2017 “Mitis Award” is very fierce. There are more than 50 well-known enterprises in the industry to participate in the competition and compete for eight categories of awards.

With so many companies participating in the competition, what is the award for the Unimo Technology MT8516? Then let Xiaobian bring you to know MT8516!

MT8516 is a system single chip launched by MediaTek in May 2017 for Voice Assistant Devices and Intelligent Audio. It is the first to support Google Voice at Google Developers Conference (Google I/O). Assistant (Google Assistant) and Google's IoT platform Android Things pre-certified System on Modules.

Why is MT8516 popular with Google, and the introduction is not detailed enough? Let us speak with specific data -

More efficient: The MT8516 supports a quad-core 64-bit ARM® Cortex-A35 with a clock speed of 1.3GHz.

More energy-saving: Built-in WiFi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 not only ensure a smaller footprint, but also enable customers to simplify the design of end products and speed up the time-to-market of finished products.

More interface specifications: The MT8516 supports up to 8 channels of TDM microphone array interface and 2-channel PDM digital microphone interface, making it ideal for far-field microphone voice control and smart audio equipment.

More storage specifications: A variety of storage specifications, including LPDDR2, LPDDR3, DDR3, DDR3L and DDR4, to meet a variety of platform needs.

As the saying goes, it is the hero of the eye. For an excellent product, the fastest response is the industry.

As of now, the MT8516 chip has already included many domestic and foreign intelligent voice assistant products, including the familiar Ali Tianmao, Baidu DuerOS, Sony's Google Voice Assistant smart speaker and so on. I believe that before the end of 2017, we will see more Internet big-name and speaker home appliance brands launch smart phone assistant products using MT8516 chip. The strength is undoubted!

As smart home products are more and more popular in the market, the market demand for global intelligent voice assistant products is also growing at a faster rate. MediaTek has long-term continuous attention and investment in audio and video technology and artificial intelligence trends, and close cooperation with Internet giants. Will help drive and expand the market for intelligent voice control devices.

In the current technological society, Xiaobian is like all consumers, looking forward to a more diverse and rich artificial intelligence home experience in the future. MediaTek will continue to bring us innovations in the future, and we are looking forward to it!
