Best Projector CPU (including Mstar and Amlogic) chip comparison

[Elena]

When choosing a TV or projector, the chip is a very important judgment standard, here is the best projector CPU (including Mstar and Amlogic) chip comparison.

Many TV sets and projection brands use Amlogic T972-H chips. The Amlogic T972 chip uses the quad-core Cortex-A55 architecture. In terms of graphics, the GPU is upgraded from Mali 450 to Mali-G31 and supports the latest OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.1 API.

PROJECTOR CHIP	CPU	GPU	USB 3.0
Amlogic T962E	A53*4	Mali-T450	NO
Amlogic T968	A53*4	Mali-T830	1
Amlogic T972-H	A55*4	Mali-G31	NO

CPU and GPU are generally classified as follows；

CPU (only recent mainstream Cortexes, A5/7/8/9 and other older generations are not included)

High performance	High efficiency	Low power consumption
Cortex-A72/A73/A75	Cortex-A53/A55	Cortex-A35

GPU:

High performance	High efficiency	Low power consumption
Mali-G71/72 Mali-T860/T880 Mali-T760	Mali-G51/G52 Mali-T820/T830 Mali-T720	Mali-400/450/470 Mali-G31

The Mali G31 also has improved power consumption compared to the T830.

A simple comparison is also made with the flagship product of MTK (formerly Mstar), another giant in the TV chip industry.

CHIP	CPU	GPU	USB 3.0
Mstar 838	A53*4	Mali-T820	1
Mstar 848（8386）	A73*2+A53*2	Mali-G51	NO
Mstar 938	A72*2+A53*2	Mali-T820	2

By comparison, Amlogic T968 and Mstar838 are basically at the same level. Compared with Mstar838, T972 has a certain improvement in CPU. The Mstar938 and 848 (called 8386 in the business field) adopt tex7 series +5 series large and small core architecture, and maintain a high configuration in GPU。

Here's the official explanation for the A55:


The cortex-a55 uses the latest ARMv8.2 architecture and builds on its predecessors. It pushes the envelope in terms of performance, while still maintaining the same power consumption as the Cortex-A53. We did our best to improve the Cortex-A53 and gave it the following features:



➤ Memory performance is up to twice that of the Cortex-A53 at the same frequency and process

➤ Performance is 15% higher than the Cortex-A53 at the same frequency and process conditions

➤ More than ten times more scalable than the Cortex-A53

Thank you for sharing! But it's too professional for me

There're too many CPU models for projectors, I can not recognize them
