Intel Atom N435 vs MediaTek MT8161 vs Rockchip RK3188

Intel Atom N435

► remove from comparison Intel N435

The Intel Atom N435 is a small and cheap entry level CPU for Netbooks and small laptops. In the package is an integrated memory controller for DDR2/DDR3 main memory and the GMA 3150 graphics card

The performance of the whole system (Atom N435 and integrated GMA 3150) is only sufficient for basic tasks like surfing the web, or office working. HD video, video cutting, advanced photo editing, multitasking and of course gaming may overstrain the GPU and CPU. Compared to the previous Atom generation, the performance of the CPU is on a level with the slow Atom Z520.

An advantage of the interation, is the small overall power consumption of the CPU, GPU and memory controller (only 5 Watt TDP). Therefore, the chip is ideally used in small Netbooks and thin laptops.

MediaTek MT8161

► remove from comparison

The MediaTek MT8161 is an ARM based entry-level to mid-range SoC for (Android based) tablets. It offers four ARM Cortex-A53 processor cores (quad-core) that are clocked with up to 1.3 GHz. Furthermore, an ARM Mali-720 graphics card, a LPDDR3 memory controller (e.g., accessing 1 GB in the Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50), Bluetooth 4.0 and dual-band 802.11 b/g/n are integrated in the SoC.

The performance is situated in the entry level of 2015 and often similar to the Kirin 910T (see benchmark below).

Rockchip RK3188

► remove from comparison

The Rockchip RK3188 is a fast ARM SoC primarily designed for tablets. It integrates four ARM Cortex A9 cores with NEON extension and a clock speed of up to 1.8 GHz, a Mali-400 MP4 graphics card (up to 600 MHz, 24 GFLOPS) and a low-power (LP-)DDR2/DDR3 memory controller. Due to the high clock rates, the performance of the CPU and GPU is superior to other Cortex-A9 quad-cores such as the Nvidia Tegra 3 and Samsung Exynos 4412. These high frequencies are possible due to the 28nm process (TSMC). However, this results in high power consumption and is thus not suited for compact smartphones.
