Amlogic S905 vs Rockchip RK3229 - the battle of low cost H.265/HDMI 2.0
Amlogic S905 vs Rockchip RK3229 - the battle of low cost H.265/HDMI 2.0
Amlogic S905 is one of the most popular SoC's at the moment, mostly because of it's 4K @ 60Hz and H.265 capabilities. There are devices on the market that range from $35 to $150, but the SoC was intended to fill a need for low cost Mini PC's
There's a new SoC on the market that addresses the same market segment: Rockchip RK3229.
Announced at CES 2016, Rockchip RK3229 is now making it's appearance and the first prices are unbelievably low for a H.265-capable device (see below).
In some respects, RK3229 is better than S905 and has a better price, but don't keep your hopes up until someone actually tests these devices.
On paper, RK3229 has some impressive video decoding capabilities for a spectacular price, but the lack of faster connectivity (USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11ac) might prove to be a troublesome.
One major drawback for RK3229 when compared to Amlogic S905 is the OS - the difference between Android 4.4 and 5.1 is not to be ignored.
