A-Series A series processors are used for mobile applications, mainly referring to tablet application.
A1x family In 2011, the company became an ARM processor licensee, and subsequently announced a series of
ARM Cortex-A8 powered mobile application processors, including A10, A13 and A10s, which were used in numerous
tablets, and also in
PC-on-a-stick and
media center devices. They have also been adopted in free hardware projects like the
Cubieboard development board.
A2x and A3x family In December 2012, Allwinner announced the availability of two
ARM Cortex-A7 MPCore powered products, the dual-core Allwinner A20 and quad-core Allwinner A31. Production of the A31 started in September 2012 and end products, mostly high-end tablets from Chinese manufacturers, appeared on the market in early 2013, including the Onda V972. Allwinner was the first to make this ARM processor core available in mass production. In March 2013, Allwinner launched its quad-core Phablet processor A31s. Based on quad-core cortex-A7 CPU architecture, this processor allows 3G, 2G, LTE, WIFI, BT, FM, GPS, AGPS and NFC using a minimum of external components. In October 2013, Allwinner released its second dual-core A23, touted to be "The most efficient dual core processor" for tablets. The A23's CPU frequency was intended to run up to 1.5 GHz. In June 2014, Allwinner announced the A33 quad-core SoC that is pin compatible with Allwinner's A23. The new SoC features four Cortex-A7 cores with 256 KB L1 cache, 512 KB L2 cache and a
Mali-400 MP2 GPU. A new feature is the support of the
OpenMAX API. Allwinner has positioned the A33 for entry-level tablets, targeting quad-core tablets priced from $30 to $60, and in July 2014 announced that it had started mass production of the chip, which would supposedly sell for as low as $4 per unit.
A5x family In April 2019, Allwinner announced the A50 28 nm quad-core SoC. The A50 features four Cortex-A7 cores running up to 1.8 GHz with 512 KB L2 cache and a
Mali-400 MP2 GPU.
A6x family In June 2017, Allwinner announced the A63 28 nm quad-core SoC at APC 2017 Conference. The A63 features four Cortex-A53 cores running up to 1.8 GHz with 512 KB L2 cache and a
Mali-T760 MP2 GPU with OpenGL ES 3.2 support. VPU with 4K/6K VP9, H.265, and H.264 4K @ 30 fps video decoder and H.264 HP encoder 1080P@30 fps
A8x family In October 2013, Allwinner disclosed its upcoming octa-core
A80 SoC, featuring four high-performance
ARM Cortex-A15 and four efficient ARM Cortex-A7 CPU cores in a
big.LITTLE configuration. On June 30, 2014, Chinese brand Onda officially released its octa-core Onda V989 tablet, which is based on Allwinner A80. This is the first Allwinner A80-based tablet that is available to consumers, priced at CNY 1099 (~US$177). In September 2014, Allwinner announced the
Allwinner A83T, an octa-core tablet processor that packs eight highly energy-efficient Cortex-A7 cores that can run simultaneously at up to around 2.0 GHz. It also includes a
PowerVR GPU. The first tablet with the chip was expected to hit the market in Q4 2014.
A10x/20x/30x family In April 2019, Allwinner announced their roadmap for 2019 to 2020 feature the A100, A200, A300 and A301 SoC.
R-Series The R ("
Real-Time") Series Chip is designed for low power applications where timing is critical and must be done at the
edge rather than in the
fog or
cloud. The chip also has built in
redundancies to meet industrial and automotive standards for processing. The R Series Chip has been applicable to a number of different industries including
Industrial Automation,
Safe PLCs,
Power Generation and
Distribution,
Healthcare and Automotive Technology. Cogobuy's preparatory K-system was used as the basis to add integrated
SLAM modules with Allwinner chip's. The technical advantages and
patents Cogobuy held allowed for chip localisation of edge computing required for the AI
room mapping and cleaning. The R40 and R16 technology has been implemented on a number of
Banana Pi models. The R8 Chip was also used for "The World's First Nine Dollar Computer"
Kickstarter project in 2015.
V-Series The V-Series are
video encoding processor targeting applications such as
smart DVR,
IP camera and
smart home applications. It is similar to the A series SoC, but adds support for functions such as digital watermarking, motion detection and video scaling, as well as a CBR/VBR bit rate control mode. == Chipset specifications ==
