Tmall Ghost Sugar Cube R is equipped with ALLWINNER TECH Quanzhi Technology R328-S2 SoC. Quanzhi R328 chip is a dedicated intelligent voice processor developed by Quanzhi Technology. It can provide reliable computing power in voice interaction, and is widely used in various product forms such as smart speakers, smart home appliances, smart story machines, voice modules, etc.
Quanzhi R328 has dual-core Cortex A7 1.2GHZ computing power, providing sufficient computing power to meet the far-field interaction of smart speakers at the ultimate cost. It is understood that mainstream voice noise reduction and deep learning algorithms have been adapted and mass-produced. In terms of interfaces, R328 has extremely high integration and rich expansion interfaces, integrating 3-channel ADCs, 1-channel differential DACs, 2-channel LDOs, and DDR2, supporting 8-channel PDM DMICs, 3-channel TDM I2S, SPDIF audio expansion, and supporting hardware MAD VAD, realizing ultra-low power wake-up in standby state.
