exciting times in china: new rockchip and allwinner socs

[2bit]

Wow China is doing the unexpected ... Becoming successful despite being communist .

Completely wrong: China is becoming successful precisely because they abandoned the communist model in favor of free market reforms. It is now easier to start a private company in China than it is in europe or the USA.

Or do you think that rockchip and allwinner are produced by state-run industries?

Despite the fact they still have state sensored media ?

Here's a good video of the RK3188 launched at CES. 

Looks like its going into the next Pipo tablet from what I have seen elsewhere.

There's a number of 10" tablets that are about to go on sale with the RK3188 SOC including the Pipo M9. They look to be about 2-3 hundred dollars.

Initial benchmarks show an Antutu score of 18000 which if true would be right up there in the leading pack of SOCs. 
Basically the same power/speed as a Qualcomm Snapdragon™ S4 Pro.

If anyone cares , it looks like the first tablets with this rk3188 SOC will go sale on Feb 18th, like the cube u30gt2

Expect PC sticks with this SOC next month I'd guess.
