Amlogic-NG: Next-Generation Application Processors for Smart Multimedia 1. Introduction Amlogic-NG (short for Next Generation ) refers to a family of high-performance system-on-chip (SoC) solutions developed by Amlogic, designed primarily for advanced set-top boxes (STBs), smart TVs, digital signage, OTT (over-the-top) streaming devices, and embedded multimedia systems. The "NG" designation distinguishes these modern chips from legacy Amlogic platforms (e.g., M8, M6 series) by introducing new CPU architectures (64-bit ARM Cortex-A cores), upgraded GPU IP, hardware-accelerated video codecs, and support for modern connectivity standards like HDMI 2.1, USB 3.0, and Gigabit Ethernet. The Amlogic-NG series includes popular SoCs such as:
S905X2, S905Y2, S905D2 (first NG generation) S905X3, S905Y4, S905D3 (second NG generation) S908X, A311D, A113X (AI-capable variants)
2. Key Architectural Features 2.1 CPU Core Complex All Amlogic-NG SoCs use ARMv8-A 64-bit CPUs, typically configured in big.LITTLE or homogeneous clusters: | SoC | CPU Cores | Max Frequency | |-------------|--------------------------------|----------------| | S905X2 | Quad-core Cortex-A53 | 1.8 GHz | | S905X3 | Quad-core Cortex-A55 | 1.9 GHz | | A311D | Quad-core Cortex-A73 + Dual-core Cortex-A53 | 2.2 GHz / 1.8 GHz | | S908X | Hexa-core (A76 + A55) | 1.9 GHz | This shift to 64-bit enables larger addressable memory (up to 4GB LPDDR4/X) and improved performance for Android TV, Linux, and multimedia workloads. 2.2 GPU and Graphics amlogic-ng
Mali-G31 (S905X2/S905X3) – supports OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.1, OpenCL 2.0. Mali-G52 MP4 (A311D) – higher fill rate for gaming and UI. Mali-G52 MP8 (S908X) – 4K UI rendering and lightweight gaming. No dedicated VRAM; uses shared LPDDR4 memory.
2.3 Video Processing Unit (VPU) The VPU is a hallmark of Amlogic-NG. It includes:
Multi-format hardware decoding up to 4Kp60 (8K on S908X): enable a specific hardware feature like Dolby Vision
AV1 (up to 4Kp60 on S905X3/Y4) HEVC (H.265) Main 10 Profile VP9 Profile-2 H.264, AVS2, MPEG-2/4
H.264 encoding up to 1080p60 (for PVR, video conferencing) Low-latency pipelines (for cloud gaming) HDR support : HDR10, HLG, HDR10+, Dolby Vision (licensed)
2.4 Memory and I/O
LPDDR4/X up to 4GB (6GB on select models), 32-bit bus eMMC 5.1 , NAND, SPI NOR flash PCIe 2.0 (some variants) for NVMe or Wi-Fi cards USB 3.0 + USB 2.0 Gigabit Ethernet MAC with RGMII/RMII SDIO 3.0 for Wi-Fi/BT combo modules
2.5 Display and Audio
