The RK3399 is the highest performance chip in Rockchip’s product line, featuring high performance and scalability in applications. The hardware specifications of the chips are industry-leading.
The CPU of RK3399 adopts the big.LITTLE core architecture, and adopts the dual-core Cortex-A72 large core + quad-core Cortex-A53 small core structure. Significant improvements have been made in integer, floating point, memory, overall performance, power consumption and core area. The GPU of RK3399 adopts the new generation high-end graphics processor Mali-T860 of quad-core ARM, integrates more bandwidth compression technologies (such as smart overlay, ASTC and local pixel storage), and supports more graphics and computing interfaces. Overall performance has improved by 45% over the previous generation.

The following shows the seven performance advantages of the RK3399:

Integrated USB3.0 Type-C dual port, and supports audio and video output of Type-C display port.
Dual ISP with 800MPix/s pixel processing capability supports simultaneous data input and advanced processing (such as 3D and depth information extraction) for dual cameras.
MIPI/eDP interface supports 2560×1600 screen and dual-screen display.
HDMI2.0 interface and H.265/H.264/VP9 4K@60fps support decoding and displaying HD video.
The PCI-e built-in interface supports PCI-e-based high-speed Wi-Fi and storage expansion.
Supports 8-channel digital microphone array input.
Full support for systems compatible with Android, Linux and other operating systems.
It has strong compatibility and expansion capabilities, and can be applied to VR, game consoles, tablet computers and other multi-function terminals.

For smart devices such as VR, RK3399 has advantages in hardware, including screen with 20ms delay, 90Hz refresh rate, 4K UHD decoding and 2K low persistence, high-precision positioning and tracking system, excellent HDR camera shooting technology, excellent 3D Processing power and HD H.265/H.264 video parsing capability. For tablet PCs, game boxes and other products, RK3399 is based on powerful CPU, higher interface standard, faster transmission speed, supports H.265/VP9 4K@60fps10bit video playback and output capability, provides the terminal with faster Computing speed and better visuals. encoding, better picture decoding, game engine and 3D image processing capabilities. In addition to tablet PC, VR, TV-BOX, notebook PC, automotive and communication fields, RK3399 is based on sufficient scalability and can be applied to various terminals in industrial and consumer fields, including smart home appliances, advertising players/multi-functions PC, financial POS machine, in-vehicle control terminal, thin client, VOIP video conference, security/surveillance/police affairs and IoT fields.
