UGOOS UT8 Pro and UGOOS UT8 Details
As you may have read before, the UGOOS UT8 series is powered by the powerful Rockchip RK3568 SoC. The RK3568 SoC is the chipset that was also used in Firefly’s Station P2 Mini PC / Geek PC. The RK3568 quad-core 64-bit Cortex-A55 processor, with brand new ARM v8.2-A architecture, has frequency up to 2.0GHz, the efficiency is greatly improved. With 22nm lithography process, it features low power consumption and high performance.
Besides, the RK3568 AI chipset integrated co-processors (GPU, VPU, NPU), and in addition to the video playback features (up to 4K @ 60fps), it is great for development projects.
