Disappointed by the GPU choice, much better than the previous Vivante one, but still outdated compared to what the competitors have to offer.

Then you’ll say, one of the advantage of ingenic are their prices, so from that point of view, this chip will do great in <99$ tablets/media players.

Final problem: Android MIPS support sucks, magiccode (app to use ARM based apps on MIPS) helps a little.

But still might do wonders on a dingooA320 successor with a proprietary OS (why not dual boot android/proprietary OS?).

Wow, stoped to check them couple of month ago…

Good chip… if it was a year ago…
They are 2 or 3 steps behind. =)

MIPS I like more then ARM … but the choice …
Allwinner seem to be faster and newer….

Ingenic does look like they offer some linux support though. Has anyone announced some Aptiv-based SoCs?
