Daily Tech News 19 July 2025

Top Story

Since Rockchip launched the RK3588 CPU in 2020 it has started showing up everywhere. With four Arm A76 cores (and four low power A55 cores), it gets the job done without breaking the bank or your power budget, whether you're designing a single-board computer, a low-end NAS, or a high-end router.

What's Rockchip planning for an encore? How about the RK3688? (Liliputing)

It will have eight Arm A730 cores - not Arm's high-end family now, but still seven generations newer than the A76 - and four A530 cores, a similar upgrade over the A55.

Plus a numeric processor that's five times as fast, great for signal processing or image recognition in robotics projects. And it will support the new LPDDR6 standard for memory bandwidth up to 200GBps - twice as fast as the typical Windows PC using DDR5 - completely overhauling the old 64-bit memory bus on the RK3588.

Plus Rockchip is shrinking the die from 8nm to 4nm, so it should be far more power efficient. And there will be a smaller, slower, cheaper ten core RK3668 to accompany the faster model.

Radxa - makers of the Rock Pi 5 single-board computer - already announced on Twitter that it is working on a Rock Pi 6.

No prices or dates as yet.

If you like your movies, you can keep your movies. You just can't buy any more movies.

Musical Interlude

That original video has been almost scrubbed from existence.
