RK3568 Datasheet Rev 1.0
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
RK3568 is a high-performance and low power quad-core application processor designed for
personal mobile internet device and AIoT equipments.
Many embedded powerful hardware engines are provided to optimize performance for high-
end application. RK3568 supports almost full-format H.264 decoder by 4K@60fps, H.265
decoder by 4K@60fps, also support H.264/H.265 encoder by 1080p@60fps, high-quality
JPEG encoder/decoder.
Embedded 3D GPU makes RK3568 completely compatible with OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0/3.2,
OpenCL 2.0 and Vulkan 1.1. Special 2D hardware engine will maximize display performance
and provide very smoothly operation.
The build-in NPU supports INT8/INT16 hybrid operation. In addition, with its strong
compatibility, network models based on a series of frameworks such as
TensorFlow/MXNet/PyTorch/Caffe can be easily converted.
RK3568 has high-performance external memory interface(DDR3/DDR3L/DDR4
/LPDDR3/LPDDR4/LPDDR4X) capable of sustaining demanding memory bandwidths.
