How to choose between RK3588 and RK3576 for interactive flat panel?
2025-07-07
In the AI era,interactive flat panel call for much high end CPU for its Andriod OS. In the landscape of China's semiconductor industry, Rockchip, as a domestic SoC chip leader, has launched many intelligent application processor chips with its deep accumulation and continuous innovation in the field of processor chip design, which have been widely used in the field of embedded systems. As representatives of Rockchip's high-performance processors, how are the performance of RK3588 and RK3576 series? How about the price? As hardware product developers, what is the difference between these two products? Let's explore together.
CPU performance: multiple coprocessors, adapt to more applications
[CPU performance]: RK3588 uses quad-core Cortex-A76+quad-core Cortex-A55, while RK3576 uses quad-core Cortex-A72+quad-core Cortex-A53 architecture for cost considerations, and is equipped with ARM Cortex M0 coprocessor, which brings more possibilities to related applications.

GPU performance: RK3576 uses ARM Mali G52 MC3, RK3588 is equipped with ARM Mali - G610MC4, both support OpenGL ES 1.1, 2.0 and 3.2, Vulkan 1.2, and the supported graphics standards are similar, but RK3588 has a higher OpenCL version (2.2 vs. 2.1).

NPU performance:Both are equipped with 6Tops computing power, support int4/int8/int16/FP16/BF16/TF32 and other data formats, and are suitable for a variety of AI application scenarios.

Memory and storage
RK3576 supports 32-bit LPDDR4/LPDDR4X/LPDDR5, and also supports eMMC5.1, SDIO3.0, SFC, and UFS v2.0;
RK3588 supports 64-bit LPDDR4/LPDDR4x/LPDDR5, and supports eMMC5.1; it can be paired with HS400, SDIO3.0 with HS200, and supports NMe and SFC. The two are different in memory data bit width (64bit vs. 32bit), and RK3588 has more advantages in data transmission.
Super video encoding and decoding capabilities
Encoding capabilities RK3588 supports up to 8K@30fps H.264/H.265, and RK3576 supports up to 4K@60fps H.264/H.265. Decoding capability RK3588 supports up to 8K@60fps H.265, RK3576
supports up to 8K@30fps. Both have strong video encoding and decoding capabilities, and RK3588 is better in 8K video encoding and decoding capabilities.
Support multi-screen display
Both support multi-screen display and various common display interfaces. RK3576 supports up to 3 screens and up to (4K@120 + 2.5K@60 + 2K@60), with HDMI v2.1/ eDP v1.3 combination interface, MIPI DSI 4 channels, DP v1.4 and USB 3.0 combination (Type-C) interface and other interfaces.
RK3588 can support up to 7 screens and 8K, with dual HDMI2.1/eDP V1.4 combination interface, dual MIPI - DSI TX 4 channels and dual DP v1.3 embedded USB 3.1 with audio and HDCP2.x.
Camera video input comparison
RK3576 supports up to 16M Pixel ISP with HDR and 3DNR
RK3588 is equipped with 48M Pixel ISP with HDR and 3DNR, and the pixel ISP resolution of RK3588 is higher (48M vs. 16M)
Summary: In terms of comprehensive performance, RK3588 has stronger CPU performance, and RK3588 is recommended for strong AI needs; but RK3576 is the latest high-performance SOC launched by Rockchip, which can be said to be very cost-effective, with 70% of the performance of RK3588 at 30% of the price, and can be used in most AIOT, artificial intelligence, industrial applications and other scenarios. RK3576 is another conscientious masterpiece of Rockchip, and it is your best choice.
RK3576 Flagship Chip: 8nm process technology, Quad-core Cortex-A72 (2.2GHz) + Quad-core Cortex-A53 architecture, and a 6TOPS NPU for AI acceleration. Supports 4K video encoding/decoding and triple-screen independent display for multitasking excellence.
