Budget [ARM][3] licensee [Rockchip][4] has been bawling out its wares on the streets of [Barcelona][5] as the company announces its newest RK30xx platform. Rockchip provide the internals for a variety of [low-cost android tablets][6], often based on _last year's_ technology. The newest system will be based on ARM's dual-core [Cortex-A9 CPU][7], Mali-400 GPU and [Artisan Physical IP Process Optimization ][8]Pack (nope, us neither). The chips will clock to 1.4GHz and be able to decode 1080p video and even support [3D displays][9]. The whole package will ship as a "turnkey" solution, i.e. one any manufacturer can buy in bulk and shove inside a tablet, meaning that plenty of the budget slates released in the second half of the year will have identical internals. First engineering samples arrive in March and if you're interested in starting your own tablet business, head on past the break to get the details.
