Allwinner is one of the biggest chipset makers in China. Recently, the
company showed off a number of devices running its latest Allwinner H
series chipsets like Allwinner H8, H64 and H3. Like tradition, these
chipsets will end up in a number of smart devices that will debut in the
second half of 2015. These smart devices include TV boxes, Mini PCs and
development boards.
The Allwinner H3 is a quad-core chipset based on ARM’s Cortex A7 architecture. While the chip isn’t very fast, its powerful enough for your TV boxes and to support 4K UHD H.265 / HEVC video playback. That’s pretty impressive for a low cost SoC. If you are looking for something more powerful, you should take a look at their octa-core H8 based on eight cortex A7 cores clocked at 2.0GHz with PowerVR SGX544. The chip supports playback 1080p HD video at 60 frames per second with H.265 / HEVC codec, API supports OpenGL ES 2.0, 1.1 and OpenCL 1.1.
Ideally, the Allwinner H3 should end up in ultra low cost TV boxes which will retail for less than $50. On the other hand, the Allwinner H8 could be used in devices which need a little more power like low cost gaming consoles.
However, the Allwinner H64 is probably the company’s highlight chip of 2015 based on 64-bit architecture with quad Cortex A53 cores. These cores improve performance to a great extent without consuming too much power. The chip also support 4K video decoding in H.265 compression and 4K video playback via HDMI. Other features include Smart Color Display 2.0 tech, support for various DRAM types, Android 5.1 Operating system etc.
