Hisilicon Hi3798M V200 is a New Cheaper SoC from Hisilicon for 4K TV Boxes

At the end of 2015 HiSilicon company announced the launch of a new SoC called HiSilicon Hi3798C V200. Currently HiSilicon Hi3798C V200 can be seen in the TV boxes form HiMedia (HiMedia Q10 Pro and HiMedia Q5 Pro). During IBC 2016 HiSilicon showed a cheaper version of the flagship chip called HiSilicon Hi3798M V200 with a lower-end Mali-450 GPU, only 2 TS input interfaces, one less USB 3.0 interface, and only 1x GMAC (Gigabit Ethernet MAC) or 1x Fast Ethernet PHY, instead of two GMAC interfaces. The processor also adds 1080p30 H.265 video encoding.

Hisilicon Hi3798M V200 key features:

• CPU – Quad core Cortex A53 processor (15K DMIPS)
• GPU – ARM Mali-450 + Hisilicon dual-core GPU
