About Hardware ARM Mali-450 MP

ARM Mali-450 MP is a power-efficient GPU designed for entry-level mobile devices, embedded systems, as well as set-top boxes and Android TVs. This GPU is the successor of Mali-400 and brings improvements in terms of graphics processing efficiency, memory bandwidth, and scalability. Depending on the chipset configuration, the Mali-450 MP can have up to 8 shader cores, although in low-end devices only 2 or 4 core versions are usually used.

With support for OpenGL ES 2.0, the Mali-450 is capable of handling user interface (UI) displays, video playback up to 1080p, and running lightweight applications and 2D or 3D games with basic graphics. However, since it is based on a relatively old architecture, its performance is limited to basic use only. Modern games or graphics-heavy applications will most likely lag or be incompatible. Even so, this GPU is still sufficient for light entertainment needs such as YouTube, Netflix, or light emulators in standard resolutions.

One device that uses this GPU is the FiberHome HG680-P, an Amlogic S905X-based TV Box with 2GB RAM and 8GB eMMC 5.1, running on Android 6.0.1 custom ROM atvXperience. With this configuration, Mali-450 MP is used to deliver a simple media center experience, suitable for video streaming and navigation of the lightweight and efficient Android TV interface.

Overall, the ARM Mali-450 MP remains relevant for low-cost devices and basic functions, although it is no longer ideal for heavy applications or modern gaming. This GPU is still found in many older Android TV sets, cheap STBs, and smart displays, where power efficiency and system stability are top priorities.
