ArmSoM platform reference based on Chinese and English RK-CS-YF-375 V1.3.0. All technical content and benchmark data for eight chips are retained for comparison during further development. These are Rockchip EVB results, not ArmSoM measurements or guarantees for other boards. For an ArmSoM board, verify SoC, memory, storage, SDK/BSP, kernel, cooling and display configuration. No hardware validation was performed.
1. Test environment
The table specifies hardware and software, including ARM chip, CPU core count, memory capacity and storage configuration. G/M notation for frequency and capacity is preserved from the source rather than silently converted.

2. Testing methods
Document the test methods, tools and settings for each item in enough detail to reproduce the tests. The source sets system performance mode with the command below. It changes governors, is not read-only, and was not executed for this article.
echo performance | tee $(find /sys/ -name *governor) /dev/null || true
2.1 Glmark2 testing
Execute the following command:
/rockchip-test/gpu/gpu_test.sh
2.2 UnixBench testing
Execute the following command:
/opt/unixbench/Run
3. Test results

Source reconciliation
Both sources are V1.3.0. The eight hardware configurations and every results cell agree; pagination differs and the environment table is joined across pages. GPU source spellings such as Valhall-G610 are retained, not corrected from assumptions. Neither source contains technical figures; all tables are editable. Test variability, repeat counts and confidence intervals are not specified and are not invented.
