AllWinner A13 vs Rockchip RK3288 vs ARM Cortex A8 1.2 GHz

AllWinner A13

► remove from comparison  A13

The AllWinner A13 is a cheap SoC for smartphones and tablets of 2012. Compared to the Allwinner A10, the A13 is acost reduced version without HDMI or SATA support. It contains a single 1.0 GHz ARM Cortex A8 core (ARMv7), a ARM Mali 400 (single core) graphics card and a video processing unit. It is produced in 55nm and mostly used for systems using Android or Linux.

Rockchip RK3288

► remove from comparison  RK3288

The Rockchip RK3288 is a mid-range ARM SoC for Android and Chrome OS mobile systems. It integrates four Cortex-A12 cores clocked at up to 1.8 GHz. ARM calls these cores Cortex-A17 due to them having very similar performance levels. The SoC includes an ARM Mali-T760 MP4 (also called Mali-T764) GPU clocked at 600 MHz and a dual-channel DDR3, DDR3L, LPDDR2, LPDDR3 memory controller.

The ARM Cortex-A12 is the successor to the Cortex-A9 and is based on a 32 Bit ARMv7-A microarchitecture. A single A12 core should be roughly 40 % more powerful than an A9 core according to ARM.

The integrated video engine supports encoding of H.264, VP8, and MVC videos up to 1080p. Decoding is supported for videos up to 4K H.264 and 10 Bit H.265.

The chip is manufactured under a 28 nm HKMG process.
