Are all these Android handhelds showing up recently just the same PCB in a different case?
the JXD ones (S601, S7100) and the first yinlips (YDP-G18) are amlogic chips (AML8726-M3) 800mhz Cortex A9
the Yinlips upgrade (YDP-G18, and this YDP-G16) and the iGame are using the Allwinner (Boxchip A10) 1GHz Corex A8
all of them appear to be using the mali-400 GPU 400MHz
chipsets are the same, but the rest of the hardware is different enough to not allow you to boot kernels from one device to the other.
[rant] I've been messing around with my S601, it's underclocked stock at 600mhz, trying to get it to at least the chipset standard 800mhz if not overclock to 1ghz. Trying to hunt down the kernel source has been a pain in my ass for the past couple weeks. Amlogic is only partially complaint with GPL.. all the sources they have are out of date and doesn't have the arch for the meson3's
http://openlinux.aml...ase/2011-12-20/ I haven't checked boxchip but I bet they're probally doing the same thing or worse.
http://rhombus-tech....kernel_compile/ <-- guess it is just amlogic that's being dickholes... If you know a company that deals with Amlogic and has access to their private git please drop me a line so we can work something out[/rant]
I suspect the variances in the stock frequency are because of binning of the chips... would also explain some of the cheap ass price. I'm guessing (largely in the dark) that the reason they underclock some of these devices is because they're unstable at their intended frequency. And others like the yinlips upgrade 1.1Ghz O/C from 1Ghz + 400mhz = 1.5Ghz is probably of better quality. That's the only possible answer I can gather, if they're playing the Mhz game they would want the highest marketing possible right?
