Source Parts has recently posted info for the system in package (SiP) series called POPCAM (POP32 & POP64). The POP32 integrates the Allwinner A33 CPU and 128MB DDR3 while the POP64 integrates the Allwinner A133 CPU and 1GB LPDDR4.

Besides its quad-core CPU (ARM Cortex-A7), the POP32 also features an ARM Mali 400MP2 GPU. It has display support for common interfaces as MIPI DSI, LVDS and RGB/LCD with a maximum resolution of 1280×800. USB interfaces are also supported (OTG, Host, and HSIC). Other features include a camera interface (5MP), a Crypto Engine and Arm TrustZone support.

The POP64 also comes with a quad core CPU (ARM Cortex-53), however it features a GE8300 GPU that supports OpenGL, OpenCL and Vulcan. Additionally, there is support for ethernet (2x 1000Mbps EMAC), audio (3x I2S) and a better camera interface (2x MIPI CSI up to 13MP@10fps). The max display resolution is higher than the POP32 (up to 1920×1200) and it has similar I/O interfaces as the POP32. Refer to the specifications list below for more details.
