[3] Rockchip is a supplier of SoCs to Chinese white-box tablet manufacturers[9][10][11] as well as supplying OEMs such as Asus,[12][13] HP,[14] Samsung[15] and Toshiba.
[16][17] Rockchip has been providing SoC products for tablets & PCs, streaming media TV boxes, AI audio & vision, IoT hardware since founded in 2001.
It has a feature-reduced versions, including RK3582 and RK3588S.The RK3399 is Rockchip's previous flagship SoC, and predecessor of the RK3588.
Dual Cortex-A72 and Quad Cortex-A53 and Mali-T860MP4 GPU, provide computing and multi-media performance, interfaces and peripherals.
[18] RK3399 Linux source code and hardware documents are on GitHub[19] and Wiki opensource website.
RK3288 is a high performance IoT platform, Quad-core Cortex-A17 CPU and Mali-T760MP4 GPU, 4K video decoding and 4K display out.
[21] RK3288 Linux source code and hardware documents are on GitHub[19] and Wiki opensource website.
MLC NAND, Nor FLASH, eMMC 4.5 DVP Sensor interface RK3308 is an entry-level product line for mainstream devices.
The chip has multiple audio input interfaces, and greater energy efficiency,[23] featuring embedded voice activation detection).
[26] SPI NOR FLASH, SLC NAND, eMMC Parallel RGB, CVBS OUT 1 x USB 2.0 HOST 1 x I2S(8ch) RK26xx series - Released 2006.
It has the same specifications as the RK2806 but also includes HDMI output, Android support, and up to 720p hardware video acceleration.
RK29xx series The Rockchip RK291x is a family of SoCs based on the ARM Cortex-A8 CPU core.
[29] The Rockchip RK2926 and RK2928[30] feature a single core ARM Cortex A9 running at a speed up to 1.0 GHz.
[29] The RK3066 is a high performance dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 mobile processor similar to the Samsung Exynos 4 Dual Core chip.
The RK3036 is a low-cost dual-core ARM Cortex-A7-based processor released in Q4 2014 for smart set-top boxes with support for H.265 video decoding.
[46] The RK3128 is a higher-end variant of RK3126, also to be introduced in Q4 2014, that features more integrated external interfaces, including CVBS, HDMI, Ethernet MAC, S/PDIF, Audio DAC, and USB.
[50] Early reports including Rockchip first suggested in summer 2013 that the RK3288 was originally designed using a quad-core ARM Cortex-A12 configuration.
The RK3368 is a SoC targeting tablets and media boxes featuring a 64-bit octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU and an OpenGL ES 3.1-class GPU.
[54] The RK3399, also known as OP1[15] announced by ARM at Mobile World Congress in February 2016, features six 64 bit CPUs, including 2 Cortex-A72 and 4 Cortex-A53.
[55] The RK3399 is used for the development of the open source Panfrost driver for ARM Mali GPU Midgard series.
[58] SBCs include Rock Pi N10, Toybrick RK3399Pro, and VMARC RK3399Pro SoM Ficus2 Evaluation Board.
[67] Rockchip provides open source software on GitHub[19] and maintains a wiki Linux SDK website[20] to offer free downloads of SoC hardware documents and software development resources as well as third-party development kits info.
[68] After establishing a position early in the developing Chinese tablet SoC market, in 2012 it faced a challenge by Allwinner.
[73] Rockchip was reported to be the number one supplier of tablet-use application processors in China in Q4 2013, Q1 2014 and Q2 2014.
[9][11] Chinese SoC suppliers that do not have cellular baseband technology are at a disadvantage compared to companies such as MediaTek that also supply the smartphone market as white-box tablet makers increasingly add phone or cellular data functionality to their products.
[3] Both Intel and Rockchip will sell the new part to OEMs and ODMs, primarily into each company's existing customer base.
