September is the busiest month.for some manufacturer, since IFA 2013 helds in Berlin, Germany from September 6th – 11th, this events is showing  new products from around the world. In this event, Rockchip is also show their new products, the RK3026 dual-core processor.

The new RK3026 chipset is based on Cortex-A9 will use dual-core architecture, which is more than the domestic architecture based on Cortex-A9 chip performance family a lot stronger.

While for now, we have not information about the GPU and other specs details, but the chip will support a single-core chips Pin to Pin, ie, without changing the mold plate manufacturers to upgrade from the previous single-core to dual-core processor.

The Rockchip RK3026 has successfully taped, is expected later this month there will be baked whole finished product on the market.

Rockchip, the one of semiconductor company from China is now ready to release more chipset that attract more tablet manufacturer after MediaTek has been a success story in the mobile processor industry. Is Rockchip ready to beat MediaTek in mobile processor market?

We don’t want to make a conclusion for now, but it’s seems that Rockchip is entered into the tablet market by supplying processors to manufacturers from China and Taiwan. Lenovo, Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Toshiba are among the manufacturers working on Rockchip based tablets.

While another tablet manufacturer such as Asus and Acer is also ready to using Rockchip processor for their products in near future.

With many products using low-budget mobile chips from MediaTek, Rockchip and Allwinner like today, it’s seems potentially to threat to the existence of Qualcomm and NVIDIA chipset products in emerging markets in the future. So what do you think?

The post Is Rockchip is ready to beat MediaTek ? appeared first on Gizmochina.

After the chipset manufacturer is become highlight for most of manufacturer, the Rockchip company is trying to set their posistion on the market, while the other big manufacturer has hold the business line through their product, Rockchip is making it’s position from day-to-day.

Rockchip is a series of SoC (System on Chip) integrated circuits manufactured by Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Company. These integrated circuits are mainly for embedded systems applications in mobile entertainment devices such smartphones, tablets, e-books, set-top boxes, media players, personal video and MP3 players.

Rockchip processor is an ARM licensee and uses the ARM architecture for the majority of its projects. It was first known for their RK 27xx series that was very efficient at MP3/MP4 decoding and was integrated in lots of low-cost MP3/MP4 products.

And now, Qoad-core chipset from Rockchip is finnaly arrive, they has been launch the confference irecently and unveiled their Rockchip Micro RK3188 (a Huawei Hass K3V2) this is the first column with a quad-core CPU, and is also the world’s second paragraph after Qualcomm APQ8064 quad-core mobile chip that using 28nm process. Here we come to a simple parse while domestic quad-core chipset available on the market today.

(A) Chinsse first quad-core CPU using 28nm process

This is the domestic first quad-core chipset wich based on 28nm quad-core chipset, this process is specifically designed for mobile devices, the battery life has increased dramatically and more robust performance. Said that compared to 45nm LP SoC low-power technology, new process performance increase of 55%, 60% power saving in Rockchip RK3188 HKMG technology (FYI: Samsung Exynos 4412 is uses the same technology).

(B) A9 performance is stronger than A7

Quad-core phone and tablet is now using the Huawei Hass K3V2, nVidia Tegra 3, Samsung Exynos 4412 and nwadays famous quad-core chipset are based on the ARM Cortex-A9 architecture and equipped with more strong performance, the power control is good, the majority of consumers are recognized, but Rockchip RK3188 is the architecture based on the ARM Cortex-A9.

RK3188 quad-core A9 architecture chipset, are superior computing power and offers more speed and good performance, this one is also stronger than the A7,  but high performance is need more power consumption, in power consumption control the A9 chipset is better than A7 chipset. In addition, the ARM A9 pack with out-of-order execution architecture technology while the A7 does not have those technology.

The A9 performance stronger than A7 chipset. This is an indisputable fact, however the tablet manufacturers overwhelmed Rockchip cooperation and Its seems to bite the Allwinner A31 chipset is based on the performance of the Cortex-A7 chipset.

(C) The RK3188 chipset lead to the arrival of the 4G era

The terms of ‘to lead the 4G era’ refers to the domestic 4G. Closer to home, it is learned, RK3188 using the latest high-speed communication interface priority is used to connect 4G (LTE FDD / TD-LTE), 3G module, to improve Internet speed, say goodbye to ‘snail’ 2G Internet to achieve better data transfer experience ; In addition, the chip uses high-speed communication interface improved compared to the existing common interface, and this interface is more simple – only 2 cables (this standard can save power consumption, lower cost).

Tablet support 4G functionality such as; iPad mini, Original iPad, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and other tablet has a 4G connectivity and now domestic tablet support 4G functionality too, it is worth looking forward for consumers. However, China’s 4G network is now just starting shortly in the the national large area coverage is estimated to wait until next years, thats only few months to go.

(D) 40nm vs 28nm technology, more lower power consumption

28nm chipset are smaller than 40nm chipset, the smaller chipset has more advanced technology, lower energy consumption and some savings in terms of power consumption, compared to the 40nm process power consumption savings of 20%. For Games, video, web browsing and data transfer, low power consumption by 40%. Of course, these are done in the same architecture, different techniques, comparison and lower power consumption between A7 and A9 architecture itself facing the entry-level mobile phones and tablet PCs.

The post Review of Rockchip RK3188 Quad-core chipset appeared first on Gizmochina.

On December 4th, 2012, One of Chinesse electronic manufacturer CUBE has been introducing Cuber tablet device which powered by Rockchip RK3188 processor.

This tablet is becoming more interesting tablet since this new Cube smartphone also powered by Quad-core  28 nm chipset from Rockchip through RK3188 processor. RK next generation of A9 UHF quad-core the flagship master and host strong released!

There is a website who covered the news with Liveblogging method, which follow the launching of Cube tablet while this device is launching at 10:00 am today.

CUBE & Rockchip 28 nm 1920 * 1200 A9 quad-core artifact of the whole network conference, 4G-LTE high-speed communication interface will support data transfer rates of up to 480Mbps, the existing common interface to improve more than 100 times!
All secret, please pay attention to the microblogging @ Shenzhen CUBE brands
Live microblogging look forward to your participation concern

Very grateful to you for your attention, CUBE as a leading Tablet PC brand in China, and constantly improve their own products, released this with RK Rockchip RK3188, China’s first 28-nanometer core master chip, is a Chinese independent development, independent design, independent innovation initiative!

More introduction, let you know, A9 strong performance in the A7

Advance into the 4G era, RK3188 provide the latest high-speed communication interface, the priority for connection 4G (LTE FDD / TD-LTE), 3G module, ultra-high-speed data transmission, so as you open the door of the high-speed Internet access, early entry into 4G era, to achieve the most perfect data transmission experience.

The high-speed communication interface supports data transfer rates of up to 480Mbps, existing general-purpose interface increased more than 100 times! This standard can run in the low CMOS level, and the interface is quite simple – only two cables. This standard can also save power by avoiding the use of analog components to minimize costs. High-speed transmission power consumption is only 16mW, the USB2.0 fifth.

28nm than 40nm process power consumption savings of 20%

A9 quad-core tiled architecture, internal friction weakened
Games, videos, web browsing, data transfer, low power consumption 40%
