Why Choose Rockchip RK3566 Over RK3568 for Android/Linux SBC Projects?

Rockchip RK3566 and RK3568 are both built on the Arm Cortex-A55 quad-core architecture and offer similar processing performance for general-purpose embedded applications. Both support Android and Linux systems, feature rich I/O, and include a 1 TOPS NPU for AI acceleration, making them highly suitable for edge computing and multimedia tasks.

However, RK3566 stands out for its excellent price-performance ratio. While maintaining comparable computing capabilities to RK3568, it comes at a significantly lower cost, making it a more economical choice for high-volume or cost-sensitive projects.

In contrast, RK3568 offers more advanced I/O features, such as PCIe 3.0, dual Gigabit Ethernet, and additional PCIe lanes. These enhancements are ideal for high-bandwidth applications like multi-channel networking equipment, industrial gateways, or edge servers.

Choose RK3566 for compact design, power efficiency, and cost-sensitive applications.
Choose RK3568 when you need more I/O, advanced connectivity, or higher expansion capability.
