Action ATM7059 is upgraded to Android 5.0

Yesterday, Action announced that its ATM7059 processor is upgraded to Android 5.0 Lollipop operation system.

ATM7059 is a new quad core processor launched in 23th, Sept. This processor is based on ARM Cortex A9 R4, and adopting 28nm process technology. Frequency is 1.6GHz. GPU is Imagination PowerVR SGX544. By the low power consumption processing technology, and LPDDR3 etc parts, its power consumption is quite low. This processor can support 2K resolution display, and 1080P HDMI output.

So why Action chose this processor for Android 5.0 Lollipop OS? That is because, this processor has very high performance and low power consumption, when working under Android 5.0 OS, it can provide users a very high experience. More important, it is also quite cost effective. Action was also considering one dual core upgraded to Android 5.0 OS, but the performance is not good enough.

In 4th, Nov, Google has already launched the code of Android 5.0 Lollipop OS, but about one or two month before that, Action has already got the partial code already. That is why Action can upgrade its processor to the latest OS so quickly.

After refined under Android 5.0 OS, this Action ATM7059's performance is enhanced by about 33%, video playback performance is enhanced about 20%.
