The I.MX 8 series consists of two processors: i.MX 8QuadMax and 8QuadPlus. This product introduction covers the i.MX 8QuadMax processor, which consists of eight cores (two ARM Cortex - A72, four ARM Cortex - A53 and two ARM Cortex - M4F), two 32-bit GPU subsystems, VPU with 4K H.265 support, and two failover ready display controllers. The processor supports a single 4K display (with multiple display output options, including MIPI-DSI, HDMI, EDP/DP, and LVDS) or multiple smaller displays. The memory interface that supports LPDDR4, 4-way SPI/ 8-way SPI (FlexSPI), eMMC 5.1, original NAND, SD 3.0 and PCIe 3.0 provides a wide range of flexibility. The ARM core and the high-performance TenSilica HiFi 4 DSP for audio pre-and post-processing and speech recognition support advanced multicore audio processing.
