Rockchip working on quad-core ARM Cortex-A12 RK32xx chip
Email
Rockchip has made a name for itself by offering cheap, yet powerful
processors for tablets, TV boxes, and other devices. The company’s RK3188
is one of the fastest ARM Cortex-A9 chips on the market right now, but it’s
used in devices that don’t cost and arm and a leg.
So what does Rockchip have in store for 2014? According to a new roadmap,
Rockchip is working on a quad-core ARM Cortex-A12 chip series called the
RK32xx.

Rockchip sent the document to the folks at Linux Rockchip, and CNX Software
spotted the bits about the RK32xx chip.
ARM’s Cortex-A12 architecture is designed for mid-range smartphones and
tablets. It’s not as fast as the Cortex-A15 technology used in chips like
the NVIDIA Tegra 4 or Samsung Exynos 5 Octa. But the new chip should be
faster than anything Rockchip currently offers.
Among other things, the upcoming 28nm chip will support 4K video decoding,
1080p video encoding, and DirectX 11 graphics (as well as OpenCL, OpenGL ES
1.1 and 2.0, and more).
The RK32xx chip features a 1.8 GHz quad-core processor with ARM Mali-T624
graphics, and the first RK32xx chips are expected to hit the streets in the
second quarter of 2014.
