Earlier this month, Rockchip announced that new products that feature its latest flagship RK3588 series AIoT chipset are set to launch soon and are about to enter mass production as well.

The company had announced the new RK3588 series chipset back in 2020, which is a flagship grade processor for AIoT products. Notably, Rockchip has released this new chip that will be featured in 8 different fields of applications. Furthermore, the exhibition area for the chipset, showcased the RK3588 in around 200 terminal products that also feature other Rockchip solutions like security, education, office, smart home, even industrial applications, and more. The company is also joining hands with 21 other partner brands as well, which include some industry veterans and other big names.

For those unaware, Rockchip is a known Chinese fabless semiconductor based company. It has been selling its SoC for tablets, PCs, IoT based products, and more. Additionally, the new RK3588 succeeds the RK3399Pro as the flagship SoC and is also based on the ARM architecture. Although, the chipmaker also added that the semiconductor industry is still facing material shortages, which will affect the overall production capacity as well. On the other hand, the company has also announced that some of its new chips will also take on the popular Metaverse concept, with some of its products being made for VR.

The use of artificial intelligence technology has increased in consumer tech products and is expected to reach a new height this year. Keeping that in mind, Rockchip has today introduced a new processor — Rockchip RK3399Pro, which comes optimized for artificial intelligence technology.

Just like the original RK3399 chipset, which was launched in early 2016, this one too comes with two Cortex-A72 cores and four Cortex-A53 cores. It is coupled with high-end Mali-T860 GPU which according to the company, integrates more bandwidth compression techniques for improved overall performance.

This is the first AI processor from the company to come with CPU, GPU and NPU hardware structure. According to the company, it offers superior general computing performance as it adopts big.LITTLE CPU. The computing performance of its NPU (Neural Network Processing Unit) reaches 2.4TOPs.

It supports dual Type-C interfaces; dual ISPs, with each channel supporting up to 13 megapixels; 4096 x 2160 pixels (4K) display output; 8-channel digital microphone arrays input, among others. As for the software, RK3399Pro supports numerous APIs, including OpenGL ES 1.x/2.x/3.1/3.2, Vulkan 1.0, OpenCL 1.1/1.2, RenderScript, etc.

The wearable device is more popular after CES 2014 in Las Vegas, it’s seems, one of the chip maker company Rockchip is showing off a few concepts for wearable devices featuring its low-power ARM-based chips.

Rockchip is now also ready to producing smartwatch after they already showing off the smartwatch concept in CES 2014, not only that, they also release the Smart glasses and ready to compete with Google Glass in the market soon.

While for now, there is no detail information about the release date, but  bith device has been showing of as a concept wearable device in Rockchip boot at CES 2014, both device will be powered by their own Rockchip processor.

The Rockchip’s smart glasses is too bulky and not too comfortable for user, but seems this device is still on conceptstage, so we hope that Rockchip is change their smart glasses design in finishing version for end-user.
Rockchip is also entering the wearable device
The Smart glasses is poered by Rockchip RK3168 ARM Cortex-A9 dual-core processor, sports with 1GB of RAM, 4GB of storage, and has a 1280 x 720 pixel display. The smart glasses is equipped with 802.11n WiFi, Bluetoth 4.0, and running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS.

As same as other smart glasses device, this version is also has camera, microphone, and poering by 570mAh battery as well as a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, light and proximity sensors.

Unfortunately, Rockchip didn’t provide detailed specs for its smartwatch, but that also appears to be running an Android-based operating system that’s been customized for a small, wearable display.

CES or also known as Consumer Electronic Show 2014 that already held in Las vegas on January 6th 2014 will becoming the nice event for consumer who want to update their gadget, and one of the chipmaker, Rockchip, this event will use to introduncing their new products.

Rockship is now preparing their first Smart Glasses device, according the Rockchip CMO’s Chen Feng, he said at his microblogging account, they will unveiled the new smart glasses that powered by  RK3168 chipset, at CES 2014.

The Smart glasses will powered by RK3168 dual-core processor, running at 1.6GHz clockspeed,and sports with 1GB of RAM and 4GB flash memory. It integrates Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS chip connected to the three upper side, there is a right lens glasses close less than 1.5 inch display screen, the screen and then to the right is a 5 megapixel 1080p camera and stereo speaker output. There are a lot of App icons, small glasses guess this can be installed App, should be customized based on the Android system.

This devices is different with Google glasses. While the Google Glasses is powered by Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB flash memory, integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB three connections chips and a variety of sensors. Google glasses screen and Rockchip glasses almost great, but it takes projection mode display with a resolution of 640 x 360. It’s on the right side of the screen is a 5 megapixel camera with 720p USB port.

Google glasses can bone conduction via the built-in headset or a USB port to connect the headset to receive the sound emitted by the glasses, and the Rockchip smart glasses directly using the speaker mode. Difference between the two sound output, which led to their use in different occasions. For example, we can use the Google Glasses answer the phone, listen to music, but it is certainly not appropriate Rockchip glasses.

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?

Rockchip as the one of chipset manufacturer is ready to compete in chipset battle arena, recently, Rockchip has been show their product in Hong Kong Electronics Fair 2012 and now they ready to released ‘cheap Terminator’ RK2926 and RK2928 chipset

RK292 new series (RK2928, RK2926) is not the same with RK2918 Cortex-A8, instead of using the more advanced Cortex-A9 single-core, the RK292 has new series with ultra-low power consumption, performance improvement of 30% compared with RK2918 , also has a very low price ($ 40), is called ‘low-cost Terminator’ can be described as full momentum.

Through demo equipped with RK292 new series (RK2928, RK2926) products, you can obviously feel in operation has been greatly improved fluency, prototype not feel significant fever situation, as the low end of the market-oriented product said that this performance is very good.

The RK292 new series will eventually achieve the kind of market performance let us wait and see the upcoming new chipset from Rockchip, and lets the ballte begin.
