Chinese fablesssemiconductor company based in Fuzhou, Fujian province. It designs system on a chip So. C products using semiconductor intellectual property cores licensed from other companies. Due to its evolution from the MP3MP4 player market, most Rockchip So. Cs feature media decoding logic but lack integrated cellular radio basebands. Rockchip is a supplier of So. Cs to Chinese white box tablet manufacturers456 as well as supplying OEMs such as Asus,78HP9 and Toshiba. Rockchip uses the ARM architecture licensed from ARM Holdings for the majority of its projects. However, on 2. 7 May 2.

Rockchip was forecast to ship 6 million tablet use application processors in China, compared to 7 million for Allwinner who mainly shipped single core products. Rockchip was reported to be the number one supplier of tablet use application processors in China in Q4 2. Q1 2. 01. 4 and Q2 2. Chinese So. C suppliers that do not have cellular baseband technology are at a disadvantage compared to companies such as Media. Tek that also supply the smartphone market as white box tablet makers increasingly add phone or cellular data functionality to their products. Intel Corporation made investments into the tablet processor market, and was heavily subsidizing its entry into the low cost tablet market as of 2. Cooperation with InteleditIn May 2. Intel announced an agreement with Rockchip to jointly deliver an Intel branded mobile So. C platform based on Intels Atom processor and 3. G modem technology. Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies will deliver an Intel branded mobile So. C platform. The quad core platform will be based on an Intel Atom processor core integrated with Intels 3. G modem technology, and is expected to be available in the first half of 2. Both Intel and Rockchip will sell the new part to OEMs and ODMs, primarily into each companys existing customer base. As of October 2. Rockchip was already offering Intels XMM 6. It has two chips a dual core application processor either with Intel processor cores or ARM Cortex A5 cores with integrated modem XG6. RF chip AG6. 20 that originates from the cellular chip division of Infineon Technologies which Intel acquired some time ago. The application processor may also originate from Infineon or Intel. Rockchip has not earlier targeted the smartphone space in a material way. Productsedit. Tronsmart MK9. Rockchip based quad core Android mini PC, with a micro.
