Allwinner just announced its new low cost processor for low-end tablets. The Chinese manufacturer is the one who is betting on reducing the costs of manufacturing the chips, increasing their skills at the same time. A battle in which other companies are also embedded as MediaTek or RockChip even follow a step behind Qualcomm as far as performance and especially market share is concerned.

 Undoubtedly the participation of firms as Allwinner market is more than positive. Tablets manufacturers have the ability to access chips to really low prices, allowing them to have some leeway when they reduce the cost of the final products. The result of this process is an increasingly competitive low-end, which is no longer occupied only by devices with a poor user experience it is possible to buy many Android and Windows models for about 100 or less with sufficient performance to meet the needs of a large portion of consumers.

 Architecture 64-bit, four cores and support for 4K

 The latest announcement of Allwinner has left us with open mouth. Last September, Rockchip processor announced his Maybach, manufactured using 28nm technology, eight-core Cortex A53 and support for HDMI 2.0 and 4K both recording and playback. The answer Allwinner, one of its major rivals as nuanced before, has taken a few months to become effective but has been overwhelming.

 The processor announced cost only $ 5 and has 64-bit architecture, which makes it a perfect choice for manufacturers of low-end tablets that want to have Android 5.0 Lollipop. It is composed of four cores also Cortex A53 and although they have not given much information about the other specifications it does have commented that supports eMMC 5.0 to improve performance I / O and different types of DDR memory. Nor have revealed what the GPU accompanying this CPU could be ARM Mali and PowerVR. In any case it supports H.265 / H.264 and 4K.
