Freelander interpretation Mali T764 the most complete technical analysis

Graphical specifications stronger Mali-T7XX era is coming! The RK3288 processor rockchip latest, domestic manufacturers of Freelander brand launch of the flat products rockchip RK3288, in addition to the performance and power better ARM new framework, in addition to upgrade the performance, power consumption of the new ARM kernel, is a more powerful Mali-T764 GPU. We know that, in addition to CPU, GPU is the key factor to determine the product performance, power consumption, performance determines the tablet experience.

See the Mali-T764, I believe many of my friends will feel strange, compared to the current Mali-400, how much of a "T"? In fact, Mali-T764 is used in the new ARM third generation MIDgard architecture, code before the T stands for "Triple Pipeline", compared with the previous Mali-400 architecture, in addition to Texturing and Arithmetic Pipeline, the new added Load/Save Pipeline, construct different previous three Pipeline design. As the highest version of Mali-T700 in the series, Mali-T764 has 16 Shader shaders, four ALU each shader (arithmetic logic unit), an LSU (local storage unit), a texture unit, can complete more complex graphics computing.

At present, Mali-400 adopts Utgard architecture, most of the core for the number 8 (Mali-450), but the Utgard architecture belongs to the vertical graphics pipeline structure architecture, design the vertex shader and pixel shader unit separation, which belongs to the product PC product DirectX 9 times, so the rendering efficiency is not high. In contrast, Mali -T764 uses the unified shader, no longer distinguish PS, VS unit, each core can perform color rendering tasks, higher efficiency, and the number of 16 shaders than Mali-400 a lot more, so the actual performance is much higher.

Officials say 5 times the maximum performance can be achieved Mali-400, is not an exaggeration of the data. The rockchip RK3288 processor as an example, the Mali T764 in the operating frequency is 600MHz, the peak speed of up to 326GLOPS pixels per second, with the 9.6GPIX filling fraction, performance is the fate! You know, the HD4600 nucleus showed Intel performance is only 400GFLOPS, the low-end positioning peak GT630 graphics performance is 336 GFLOPS. This means, Freelander PX1C RK3288 graphics performance is inferior to the low-end PC alone, GPU performance will be significantly ahead of all competitors!

Mali-T764 is for computing hierarchy, also by Open CL 1.1 and Renderscript Compute parallel computing standard certification, the current trend of intelligent terminal of the computer, in addition to the software developers to easily put OpenCL software PC platform to use with the GPU device, is also advantageous for intelligent terminal unique function, for example, in the AR augmented reality and video identification using parallel computing to improve use experience. Therefore, powerful graphics capabilities of RK3288 can shine in wearable devices. The powerful processing ability, RK3288 can discern the camera images of moving objects by real-time rendering, with its high performance, so as to bring a better experience, like image recognition, face recognition, face recognition, landmark recognition even frown recognition such applications can be easily achieved.

Rockchip has in CES2014 released R3288 processor. Taking into account the rockchip R3288 in architecture and the RK chip products has a certain continuity, which equipped with R3288 plate product introduction time can be greatly shortened, is expected to ordinary consumers will soon be able to have the opportunity to obtain a tablet computer with Mali-T764. Currently known domestic brands such as Freelander have announced the release of Freelander PX2 RK3288 core products, perhaps in the one or two month, RK3288 will be a comprehensive listing of new products.
