Mixtile, the IoT hardware solution provider, has announced Core 3588E as available for pre-orders. Mixtile Core 3588E is a high-performance, low-power System-on-Module (SoM) powered by the RK3588 chipset. Highlights of the product are an 8-core CPU, a 4-core GPU, and up to 6 TOPS performance. The module also has a 260-pin SO-DIMM edge connector compatible with NVIDIA Jetson TX2 NX carrier boards.
As an alternative to the Jetson TX2 NX, Core 3588E outperforms even the Jetson TX2 NX regarding video processing performance. Jetson TX2 NX can only decode 2x 4K@p60 videos and encode 1x 4K@p60 videos, while Core 3588E decodes 8K@p60 and encode 8K@p30. It can handle higher-resolution videos at much faster frame rates compared to Jetson TX2 NX.
Core 3588E also outshines the PCIe design. Jetson TX2 NX only has 2 lanes, and a few undefined pins. Core 3588E creates a PCIe 3.0 4-lane interface, which is four times faster than the 2-lane interface of Jetson TX2 NX. This distinction makes the Core 3588E a better fit for developers looking for improved performance and faster data transfer capabilities.
