312 vs 212: which CPU has more power and does better transcoding
As by subject.
Please now that the new 212 and 214 models are out, sporting a quad core (ARM Cortex A15 1.4GHz CPU) does anyone knows if they are more powerful than the 31x series (312, 314 sportin...
The 212 is better for transcoding. Transcoding will use all four cores.
The 312 has a higher clock speed, but is dual core. For tasks that only use one core I think the 312 may be faster. The 312 also supports a larger range of apps.
Hi netghiro,
You may also check each products datasheet for more information.
Kind regards,

The data sheets aren't enough to compare the two CPUs. I also couldn't find any CPU benchmarks of the RN214 processor.
Though I suspect that mdgm is correct in saying
-a single core of the atom in the RN312 is probably faster than than a single core in the RN212 ARM
-but when all 4 cores of the RN212 are engaged, it is likely faster than the 2 cores of the RN312.
