I have a Samsung Chromebook with a Rokchip ARM processor. Its 3 years old and is still blazing fast, with multiple tabs open, video conferencing etc with amazing battery life. Would be nice to see what they can do with their own chips.
- megous 5y agoI wouldn't call RK3399 blazing fast, but it's quite usable.
- wffurr 5y agoThe GPU in that chip is so slow it can't fill the screen with a solid color at 60 Hz.
- ladyanita22 5y agoIt's that so? How c can then Chrome OS display anything then? Displaying a desktop environment with multiple apps and/or moving webpages must be impossible.
- wffurr 5y agoNone of it happens at 60 FPS. Dragging windows, animations, etc are all janky on that GPU.
- bilal4hmed 5y agoTrue, for me it I should have put in bold that for a 3 year old device its fast. Based on what I do with it as described above it does the job without having me to throw it against a window since its slow
- fctorial 5y agoSays more about chromeos than the processor. Try installing windows or ubuntu gnome on it.
- CameronNemo 5y agoUbuntu GNOME would probably work fine, except when it comes to video. People run similar stacks on the Pinebook Pro, which is the same SoC design. Unfortunately using a mainline stack with the rk3399 will still get you CPU en/decoded video, rather than using the dedicated VPU. That seems to be changing soon.
