About half a month ago, the quad core tablet PCs apply with A31 chip burst out like torrents. The famous processor supplier Rockchip also released its new quad core chip, the RK3188. Fortunately, today we get a real item running with this chip, the Pipo M9.
As all we know, the RK3188 applies with the latest 28nm processing with the most stable Cortex-A9 quad core architecture. It embedded an enhanced Mali-400MP GPU with quad core processing unit and running frequency of 533MHz. In addition, the new Rockchip RK3188 can be overclocked to max. 1.8GHz. So what is the actual performance of RK3188. Next, lets do some benchmark on it.
Compared with Allwinner A31 and Actions ATM7029, the RK3188 uses Cortex-A9 architecture which makes it performs much better than both of them. As the purpose of Cortex-A5 and Cortex-A7 architecture is developed for assistant processor for lower power consumption. The performance of them is worse much than Cortex-A9 base chips. Below, it is a compare table of these three quad core chips.
Antutu benchmark
According to the result, we see the performance of Pipo M9 is very powerful. The RAM scores 3208, we can infer that the data transmission of it is very excellent. The CPU integer/ float point score are also not bad, it proofs RK3188′s powerful calculating ability. 2D/3D graphics score states RK3188 can render more exquisite image.
Through the Antutu score chart we see M9 surpasses the most popular Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S3, even the latest Nexus 4 been beaten by it.
NenaMark 2
The Pipo M9 rates 59.6FPS in this test, it is the second quad core tablet that reaches the limit of Nenamark2, the other one is Onda V812.
Quadrant Advanced
In the result, M9 runs at 5039, it ranked at the first position. In 3D test, it also reaches 60FPS.
Linpack
Single thread result at 60.661
Multi-thread result at 151.135
According to the result, M9 works much better in multi-thread processing, it will easily handle multi-task smoothly.
Nbench
It includes three aspects, MEM, INT, FP. MEM refers to the performance of CPU bus, Cache and storage. INT refers to integer processing ability. FP reflects the double-precision flops processing speed. The test time is about 10 minutes. All of the three tests perform good.
Vellamo
Pipo M9 did a better optimization to web browser, the total score rates 1534. The software optimization of M9 really brings the strong hardware into play.
Benchmark result
As the first RK3188 quad core tablet PC, Pipo M9 performs very excellent, it surpasses both A31 and ATM7029 based tablets. Its definitely the most powerful quad core tablet PC at present.
