MediaTek's next-generation Dimensity CX C10 Max will power devices in the new Googlebook initiative. The 3nm system-on-chip will sit alongside silicon from Intel and Qualcomm in the program.

MediaTek has described the chip as 'elevating' its computing portfolio, but the specifications tell a more familiar story. The Dimensity CX C10 Max is said to have similar specs to the Kompanio Ultra 910, the chip currently used in Chromebook Plus devices.

That puts the new part in well-trodden territory rather than breaking new ground. The source notes the similarity despite MediaTek's claims, suggesting the Googlebook chip may be a rebadged or lightly updated version of existing silicon.
