Rockchip RK3568 and RK3562: A Comparison of Core Boards

In the evolving world of embedded systems, choosing the right core board is essential for businesses aiming to balance performance and cost-efficiency. Rockchip RK3568 and RK3562 core boards from Rockchip are two standout options, each offering unique strengths suited to different applications.

 
   

RK3568 CORE BOARD

RK3568 is designed with robust specifications to meet the requirements of applications demanding stable, high-performance processing. It features a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A55 CPU clocked at up to 2.0 GHz. And this offers strong processing power for intensive applications. In addition, RK3568 integrates the Mali-G52 2EE GPU to enhance graphical capabilities. It supports 4K@60fps H.265/H.264/VP9 video decoding and encoding, making it ideal for high-definition displays and multimedia.  

 

For connectivity, the RK3568 excels with an extensive range of interfaces:

• USB Ports: USB 3.0, USB 2.0, supports high-speed data transfer.
• PCIe: PCIe 3.0 for expanding peripheral options, ideal for industrial control and AI applications.
• Ethernet: Dual GbE support, providing stable network connections suitable for IoT applications.
• Display Interfaces: HDMI 2.1, MIPI-DSI, and eDP interfaces, accommodating various display types and resolutions.

RK3562 CORE BOARD

The RK3562, while maintaining the same Cortex-A55 architecture, offers a simplified yet effective specification for projects requiring affordability without compromising core performance.

Not only is this board powered by a quad-core Arm Cortex-A55 CPU at 1.8 GHz, but it also includes a Mali-G52 GPU capable of handling 1080p video decoding, making it suitable for entry-level industrial displays and smart home devices.

Key features include:

• USB Ports: USB 3.0, USB 2.0, providing adequate connectivity for everyday applications.
• Ethernet: Single GbE support, offering solid network functionality for IoT and smart home systems.
• Display Interfaces: HDMI 2.0 and MIPI-DSI, supporting up to 1080p resolution, ideal for less demanding visual applications.

The RK3562 supports single-channel DDR4/LPDDR4 RAM up to 4GB and eMMC 5.1 flash storage, optimized for projects that do not require the higher RAM capacity of the RK3568.

Our upcoming RK3562-based Android LCD display module is crafted to deliver a balanced performance-to-cost ratio, making it highly suitable for developers seeking an effective, budget-friendly display solution. Despite the simplified RK3562, this new module promises to be a valuable option for cost-sensitive projects in sectors such as consumer electronics, educational technology, and basic industrial controls.
