The chip will power an upcoming Googlebook, but there's no word on availability.

This brand-new Googlebook chip is basically an old flagship smartphone processor

MediaTek has unveiled the Dimensity CX C10 Max, its inaugural processor specifically designed for Googlebooks. At first glance, the chip seems to mirror its predecessor, the Kompanio Ultra, which was used in Chromebooks. MediaTek asserts that this chipset will be the driving force behind an upcoming premium Googlebook. While Googlebooks are now a reality, powered by both Intel and Qualcomm processors, MediaTek's first foray into the Googlebook market remains chipset-based rather than laptop-based.

The company announced the Dimensity CX C10 Max on September 21, touting it for delivering "all-day" battery life and supporting Gemini Intelligence. However, upon a closer examination of the specifications, it appears that the Dimensity CX C10 Max is a variant of the previously utilized Kompanio Ultra chipset, which itself was based on the Dimensity 9400 smartphone processor.
