Intel is on about the same ballpark as the big arm tablet chips but they can't shrink it any further. They got this low simply from node shrinks, but at this point making a new core design only for the tablet market would require very high sale volumes. And they failed to infiltrate the tablet mark

something interesting I saw is that in the update picking a processor, it shows rk3188 as the rockchip processor you were going to reverse engineer. on the other hand, your rhombus-tech link shows that your looking at rk3288? Not to be annoying constantly, but I am curious are you looking at one
