AP4 are phone/tablet chips almost entirely focused on Android. MX53 is for in-flight entertainment, Ford Sync, handheld media tablets, that kind of thing. Remember when you think about speeds on devices, they are always listed as maximums. Yes, SATA-II is 3Gbit/s (actually about 2.4Gbit after you ge
