Is that the master plan you with Allwinner you mentioned somewhere else ? I'm very interested with the idea. The mere idea that you managed to get a new SoC going on on a reasonable node despite the cost intrigues me a lot. So what about all the other ip blocks involved in the soc ? Realistically if such a small form factor wants to be successful it needs to have 3d.
