IPQ8072 vs IPQ4019: The battle of performance

When building high-performance network equipment, choosing the right processor is critical. Qualcomm's IPQ8072 and IPQ4019 are two high-profile chips that provide powerful technical support for different network application scenarios. In this article, we'll take a deep dive into the technical specifications of both processors and understand how they differ in terms of processor performance, storage, wireless connectivity, and hardware customization to help you better choose the chip that suits your project needs.

IPQ8072: Powerful performance network engine

IPQ8072 is equipped with Qualcomm Atheros IPQ8072A AR Quad Core CPU, which provides a powerful processing engine for high-performance network equipment. It integrates 5GHz and 2.4GHz high-speed radio frequency modules and supports physical data transmission rates of up to 2475 Mbps and 1147Mbps, making it an ideal choice for applications that have urgent needs for high-speed and efficient wireless connections.

In terms of storage and memory, IPQ8072 shows its powerful processing capabilities, equipped with 8 MB NOR Flash and 256MB NAND Flash (optional upgrade to 1GB). This is complemented by its 1GB DDR3L memory (optional upgrade to 2GB), providing sufficient support for processing large-scale data and complex tasks.

The IPQ8072 supports advanced wireless connectivity technologies, including 11ax TX Beamforming, 11ac/ax MU-MIMO DL and UL, and OFDMA DL and UL. This makes it suitable for complex scenarios such as enterprise-level routers and advanced network equipment. At the same time, it supports dynamic frequency selection (DFS) and a wide frequency range, providing additional guarantee for the reliability and stability of network signals. In terms of hardware customization, IPQ8072 provides an M.2 slot and supports QCN9074 production, providing developers with more hardware flexibility and expansion options.

IPQ4019: Ideal for lightweight network equipment

IPQ4019 is a processor suitable for lightweight network equipment, with a quad-core ARM Cortex A7 processor clocked at 716.8 MHz. It integrates 2x2 5GHz and 2x2 2.4GHz high-power radio frequency modules to provide reliable wireless connections for applications such as small home networks and smart home devices.

In terms of storage and memory, although the IPQ4019 is relatively small, it is enough to meet general lightweight needs, with 32MB of Nor Flash and 256MB of DDR memory.

IPQ4019 also supports 2 x 5G MMCX Connectors and 2x2.4G MMCX, providing simple and reliable wireless connections. In terms of frequency range, it covers frequencies from 2.412GHz to 2.482GHz and 5.180GHz to 5.825GHz, which is suitable for typical home network needs.

In terms of hardware design, IPQ4019 is more compact in size and suitable for applications with limited space.

Conclusion: The choice depends on the project needs

IPQ8072 and IPQ4019 respectively provide solutions for network equipment of different sizes and performance requirements. The choice depends on the specific needs of the project, with comprehensive trade-offs ranging from processor performance to wireless connectivity to hardware customization. Whether you're building advanced networking equipment or smart home products, a deep understanding of these two chips will help you make informed decisions.
