[Bloat] 45 dollar tablets

Anyone know what the processor actually is in this?

I suspect it's not an arm...

Despite me being down on the future of the MIPS - given the recent
sale, and disarray of the licensee base - I imagine the loongson
processor has a potentially very long life ahead of it in china, and
growth in capability and functionality...

Probably not at that pricing. My first thought was that I am unaware
of Android being ported to MIPs hardware but lo n behold...

Unrelated thought to this post but whoever made the motherboard and
soc for the wndr3800 may still be able to provide that stock in a
plain "deBloated" case if anyone wanted to source 1000 of them.

The venturebeat article gives the SoC designer: Allwinner. According to wikipedia, they are arm.
