![]() However, the chip cuts corners with regard to performance in a rather unorthodox way. The ATM7029A from Actions is a low-end quad-core SoC that was one of the first affordable quad-core tablet processors to appear on the market, and has been sold in fair numbers in low-end tablets. ![]() These companies may be covered in a future update or in an article focusing on smartphone chips.Īctions a Chinese chip company with a long prior history in the MP3 player chip market, which has operated at the bottom-level of the white-box tablet market in the last few years.Ĭhip Arrival Fab CPU Clock speed Geekbench Multi GPUĪTM7021 Q4 2013 40nm 2 x Cortex-A5 1.3?

HiSilicon, the chip division of Huawei, is becoming more prominent for smartphone SoCs but has been omitted because it does not really target tablets. The article takes on tablet SoC chip companies in alphabetical order, one-by-one.Īlthough the article specifically focuses on tablet chips, there is some overlap with smartphone chips since many players in smartphone chip space also compete in tablets with solutions that are generally similar to their smartphone chip solutions. ![]() In this post, I am analysing the Android ARM and x86-based tablet processor market of the last two years or so from the low-end (mostly chip used in Chinese white-box tablets) to high-end devices from well known brand names, with a focus on CPU performance and other information that can be found after studying the Geekbench results database. The approximate arrival on the end market of specific chips can also be estimated. ![]() ![]() Because certain subtests within Geekbench results (such as the single-core JPEG Compress test) correlate well with CPU clock speed for a given CPU core, it is possible to determine the actual maximum clock speed of the CPU, which sometimes does not correspond to the advertised clock speed or even the clock speed reported by the operating system.īy assessing the number of entries for a specific chip or model, the database of also provides an indication about the unit volume and popularity of specific chips and models. The Geekbench browser, which includes hundreds of thousands of mobile benchmark results, provides access to a wealth of information about the CPU and memory performance of smartphone and tablet SoCs. ![]()
