  • RockChip RK3588, 8-core 64-bit (4×Cortex-A76+4×Cortex-A55), up to 2.4GHz
  • ARM Mali-G610 MP4 quad-core GPU
  • RAM 4GB/8GB/16GB 64bit LPDDR4/LPDDR4x/LPDDR5 (Up to 32GB optional)
  • Integrated with PCIe3.0/GMAC/SDIO3.0/USB3.0, it can be extended to multi-channel Gigabit Ethernet,
    WiFi 6/Bluetooth, 5G/4G LTE

RK3588 is Rockchip's new-gen flagship AIoT SoC with 8nm lithography process. Equipped with 8-core 64-bit CPU, it has frequency up to 2.4GHz. Integrated with ARM Mali-G610 MP4 quad-core GPU and built-in AI acceleration NPU, it provides 6Tops computing power and supports mainstream deep learning frameworks. The powerful RK3588 can deliver more optimized performance in various AI application scenarios.

The core board supports 8K@60fps H.265/VP9 video decoding and 8K@30fps H.265/H.264 video encoding, and also supports encoding and decoding simultaneously — achieves up to 32-channel 1080P@30fps decoding and 16-channel 1080P@30fps encoding. The strong video encoding and decoding capability makes 8K HD display and delicate picture quality available.

With HDMI 2.1/eDP1.3/MIPI-DSI/DP1.4/BT.1120 multi-channel video output and HDMI RX2.0/MIPI-CSI/DVP video input interfaces, it supports multi-channel 8K video output and 4K video input — up to seven-screen output with different displays can be achieved. The integrated 48MP ISP with HDR&3DNR supports dual MIPI-CSI camera input.

The core board, with standard MXM3.0-314P interface, which is small in size, can be combined with a backplane to form a complete high-performance ITX mainboard with richer expansion interfaces, which can be directly applied to various smart products to accelerate the product development process.
