While we already knew a lot of details for the Rockchip RK3288 processor, some website probably set up by Rockchip now reveals a lot more information. Rockchip RK3288 SoC is the first SoC to be based on a quad core Cortex A17 processor with a Mali-T76X GPU and should arrive as late as 2015. Rockchip also advertises it as the first SoC with real 4Kx2K video decoder. While we can not verify the source, it doesn’t look like somebody will set up a whole website with fake data.

Here are all the technical details:

The website states that Mali T760 GPU is to be found in the RK3288, but according to other reports, Rockchip RK3288 may also feature Mali T764 GPU which is yet unannounced but should provide very decent performance.

ARM Cortex A17

Cortex A17 can be seen as an evolution from the Cortex A12.
