Hello, newbie right down to the socks here, but have to ask. From what I've seen most arm cpu/gpu are scaled to to what number of GPU it will use. I have a Allwinner A31S processor on a device that I know that should be Mali 400 MP4, but it instead its MP2 (Dual core). Is it possible to rescale a device to use its full potential? If so how?
Thanks in advance.
Hello and welcome,
Are you sure it is Mali inside?
It is a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 Processor but I don't believe this particular Allwinner SoC features ARM Mali GPUs.
A31s_Allwinner Technology product page from Allwinner own website.
So, if it's a A31s, I don't think we can help you.
Cheers,
Alban
Is it possible to rescale a device to use its full potential?
No - the Mali-400 design supports between 1 and 4 cores, but the number implemented in a particular chip is statically determined by the silicon manufacturer, allowing them to trade off cost against performance.
