Rockchip RK3538 TV Box SoC and RK3572 mid-range HMI processor are coming soon

While we are eagerly waiting for the RK3668 and RK3688 high-end processors, Rockchip is planning to launch two mid-range SoCs with the RK3538 quad-core Cortex-A55 processor designed for TV boxes, and the RK3572 hexa-core Cortex-A73/A53 SoC for HMI (Human Machine Interface) applications.

A #RISCV Progress Check: Benchmarking #P550 and #C910
The RISC-V cores fall short of Ar #CortexA73 and well short of Intel’s #Goldmont Plus. Mediatek’s In-Order #Genio1200 hyas higher clock speeds and better DRAM latency than C910 and P550. Its #CortexA55 cores are able to catch C910 and P550 without out-of-order execution.
#SiFive’s P550 and T-HEAD’s Xuantie C910 are both notable for featuring out-of-order execution on RISC-V. Both are plagued by low clock speeds.
