High on-chip integration of peripherals like MIPI DSI, LVDS, USB OTG/Host, etc reduces overall system costs and tablet cost.Īllwinner’s core partners are scheduled to start delivering dual core A23 tablet samples in October. Tablets powered by the A23 are highly cost-competitive, thanks to Allwinner’s expertise in highly-integrated processor design. Power, performance, and cost are critical factors to winning market share. “The dual core A23 processor will help tablet brands win more business in highly-competitive emerging markets and in growing markets like educational tablets”. “Competition in the tablet space has heated up this year, and OEM brands need better processor choices in order to boost margins and gain market share,” noted Jack Lee, Director of Marketing at Allwinner. As always, Allwinner is working closely with its partners to ensure that A23 tablet designs are stable and ready for market. To deliver ultimate efficiency, the A23 features a balance of advanced DVFS power management, lower power process technology, enhanced memory bandwidth, the energy-efficient ARM Cortex-A7 CPU architecture, ultra-low power talking standby, ultra-low power music playback, and more. With more performance and less power consumption, the A23 is 2x more efficient than previous generation dual core processors. Update: A New Weapon in the Tablet Wars: Allwinner Announces the Ultra-Efficient Dual Core A23 Processor for Tablets Īllwinner Technology, a leading fabless processor design company, today announced the release of its breakthrough dual core A23 processor for tablets. Allwinner claims to be the largest producer of ARM SOCs for tablets in the world. The A23 will be mass produced in October to be shown in devices here on in the weeks to come.
Allwinner products support Android up to version 4.2.2 with 4.3 coming later. The new Allwinner A23 offers lower power consumption, better performance and a lower more optimized cost compared to the previous Allwinner A20. Here’s Eva at the Allwinner booth announcing the launch of the new Allwinner A23 dual-core ARM Cortex-A7 with Mali-400 GPU, they claim it to be the most efficient dual-core in the world.
