Hello,
Is there noticeable difference between the Mali 400 and Mali 450 mobile GPUs for running videogame emulators (and for Android games as well) in an Android 4.4.2 smart tv box (a device that gives smart capabilities to older TVs, either CRT or flat panel)? What about the video playback performance?
Thank you!
PS: Sorry if I asked this in the wrong forum, please advise where should I post it if possible! Thanks!
Hi piovezan and welcome to the Community!
I have moved your question to ARM Mali Graphics where it fits a bit better
Hi piovezan,
Mali-400 and Mali-450 are very similar. Main differences:
Note that there are multiple possible configurations of the GPU produce we license to silicon partners (different core counts, top frequencies, etc), so a Mali-400 from one chipset may perform very differently to a Mali-400 in another. Please check with your chipset vendor or datasheet for Mali configuration and performance information.
> What about the video playback performance?
The Mali-400 or Mali-450 is just an OpenGL ES accelerator for real-time graphics, it's not a video decoder - that would be a different piece of hardware in the chip (if present).
HTH, Pete
Thank you for your reply. I don't have much knowledge about GPUs unfortunately, so I don't fully understand this information but I try to research further.
In case it might help, I'm talking about a RK3188T processor Cortex A9 (Mali 400) and a 96-1488 MHz processor which I suppose is Amlogic S805 Quad Core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A5 (Mali 450).
