Which chipset is best for Android TV box?
There are many models of Android boxes, everyone will find a variety of boxes when choosing.
For example HK1 RBOX R3, H96 MAX, X96Q, X88 PRO 20, etc.
The most important internal component of the box is the chip. As long as a good chip is selected, a good box can be found.
Now the boxes on the market generally use chips from three manufacturers:
Amlogic, RockChip and Allwinner.
So today we will make a comparison between these manufacturers and chips.
Amlogic Inc. (sometimes stylized AMLogic) is a fabless semiconductor company that was founded on March 14, 1995 in Santa Clara, California and is predominantly focused on designing and selling systems on chip integrated circuits. Like most fabless companies in the industry, the company outsources the actual manufacturing of its chips to third-party independent chip manufacturers such as TSMC. Its main target applications as of 2021 are entertainment devices such as Android TV-based devices and IPTV/OTT set-top boxes, media dongles, smart TVs and tablets.
Rockchip: Since its establishment in 2001, it has been providing SoC solutions for tablets and PCs, streaming TV boxes, AI audio and vision, and IoT hardware.
Allwinner Technology：is a Chinese fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Zhuhai, Guangdong. Mainly design intelligent application processor SoC and intelligent analog chip. Since its establishment in 2007, Allwinner has released a series of products for Android tablets, smartphones, network set-top boxes, driving recorders, and in-vehicle multimedia systems.
The chips originally designed by Amlogic were mainly used in tablet computers, they began to enter the TV box market. But its company has many years of experience and technology in producing chips, and the chips on TV boxes are also the best.
Amlogic Chip type: S905W，S905X，S905X2，S905X3，S912，S922X
Representative box: X96 X4 is hot-sale in 2021, uses the Amlogic S905X4.
X96 max+ uses the Amlogic S905X3, also very popular.
Rockchip is a professional integrated circuit design company. Many Android TV boxes on the market use this brand's chip. The advantage of this chip lies in the performance of the "graphics processor", and the video decoding and multi-format video decoding capabilities are strong. There are most types of boxes using their chips on the market, and the prices are also cheap and expensive. So you can almost buy boxes using RK chips that match your budget and needs.
RockChip Chip type: RK3228A，RK3229，RK3318，RK3328，RK3368，RK3399
Representative box: The most popular box in 2021 is: H96 MAX V11, using RK3318. H96MAX uses RK3566
Allwinner Chip type: H3，H313，H6，H603，H616
Representative box: H96 MAX H616 and T95
