MariSilicon Y is a new Bluetooth audio system-on-a-chip (SoC) developed by Chinese technology giant, OPPO. It was officially unveiled at the OPPO INNO DAY 2022.

The goal of MariSilicon Y is to kick-start a new generation of wireless audio experiences by exploring two main directions: wireless and lossless audio, and computational audio.
The technology aims to solve key drawbacks of today’s Bluetooth audio devices and deliver best-in-class, lossless audio quality over a wireless connection and it enables powerful audio computing capabilities for even more possibilities in fresh, immersive, and personalized listening experiences. With this technology, users will be able to enjoy true 24-bit/192 kHz ultra-clear lossless audio over Bluetooth.
It comes equipped with exclusive URLC codec technology to deliver an unprecedented 24-bit/192 kHz, ultra-clear lossless audio experience through Bluetooth.
It is built on cutting-edge N6RF process technology and supports a data rate of up to 12Mbps on the physical layer.
It also includes a dedicated NPU with up to 590 GOPS on-device computing power, capable of supporting a brand-new, smart, spatial audio experience.

To realize this unprecedented 24-bit/192 kHz ultra-clear lossless audio via Bluetooth, MariSilicon Y has introduced a brand-new, self-developed Pro Bluetooth Pack — the first of its kind to deliver ultra-clear lossless audio via Bluetooth. This complete solution combines a massively enhanced Bluetooth data rate with OPPO’s exclusive codec technology to deliver fast and seamless wireless connectivity.

Currently, the data transmission capabilities of standard Bluetooth protocols are simply not enough for the needs of ultra-clear lossless audio. With MariSilicon Y, OPPO has increased this by a massive 50% compared with mainstream Bluetooth SoCs, supporting a data rate of up to 12Mbps on the physical layer (theoretical data). This is the first time that such a Bluetooth data rate has been realized in this way.

Following years of investment in audio technology, the arrival of MariSilicon Y and its dedicated on-device computing power enables OPPO to offer users next-level lossless and wireless audio together with a personalized, immersive listening experience across OPPO devices.
