Category: Application Processor / AI SoC / Edge Computing Chip
🔍 Brief Description
Rockchip RK3588 is a next-generation high-performance processor designed for ARM-based PCs, Edge AI devices, smart terminals, and advanced multimedia applications. With a hybrid CPU architecture, powerful AI NPU, 8K video capabilities, and an advanced ISP, RK3588 is ideal for cutting-edge computing scenarios.
📄 Detailed Description
The RK3588 integrates a powerful 8-core CPU system combining quad-core Cortex-A76 and quad-core Cortex-A55 processors with NEON coprocessors, delivering outstanding performance and energy efficiency. It supports 8K video decoding including H.265 and VP9 at 60fps, H.264 at 30fps, and AV1 at 4K@60fps, along with 8K@30fps encoding support for both H.265 and H.264 formats. High-quality JPEG processing and dedicated image pre/postprocessing modules are included to ensure top-tier multimedia handling.
RK3588 features a high-performance embedded 3D GPU fully compatible with OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0/3.2, OpenCL 2.2, and Vulkan 1.2, enabling fluid graphics rendering and immersive UI experiences. Its dedicated 2D engine with MMU further optimizes display responsiveness.
A standout feature of RK3588 is its hardware-based 48MP ISP (Image Signal Processor) supporting advanced functions like HDR, 3A, 3DNR/2DNR, LSC, and fisheye correction, making it ideal for smart cameras and vision applications. The integrated NPU (Neural Processing Unit) delivers up to 6 TOPS, supporting mixed precision (INT4/8/16, FP16) operations and deep learning inference on mainstream frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, Caffe, and MXNet.
With quad-channel LPDDR4/4X/5 memory support and rich peripheral interfaces, RK3588 is engineered to meet the high bandwidth and integration needs of modern devices across consumer and industrial sectors.
