The MediaTek Genio 360/360P are “Value” Genio processors placed between the entry-level Genio 350 (4x Cortex-A53) introduced in 2021 and the “Mainstream” Genio 510 (2x Cortex-A78 cores + 4x Cortex-A55). You can read the highlights in the table below, or check out the full comparison table in the PDF provided by MediaTek.

MediaTek will provide support for Android (NDA required for docs), Ubuntu (Q4 2026), and Yocto Linux (Q3 2026) operating systems for the Genio 360/360P SoCs. Target applications include cost-effective solutions for AI-enhanced IoT devices in education, the enterprise, healthcare, industrial environments, retail, and transportation. 

The company will soon release the Genio 360-EVK Evaluation Kit with 4GB RAM, 64GB eMMC 5.1 flash, Wi-Fi 6 (2×2) and Bluetooth 5.2 wireless connectivity (note: based on MT7921 differs from specs above), a 7-inch touchscreen display with 1200×1920 resolution, two cameras, GbE and USB connectors, three M.2 PCIe/SDIO sockets, and a 40-pin GPIO header.

MediaTek did not say whether the Genio 360 is available now, but promises a 10-year life cycle. The Genio 360(P) evaluation kit is listed on Innocomm at an undisclosed price, and the company asks interested parties to click the “Add for inquiry” button instead.
