Intel-Rockchip Launch ARM-based Chip-Set.

Intel and Rockchip have jointly announced their first chip and it’s based on a dual core Cortex A-5 from ARM.

In May, Intel said it had “entered into a strategic agreement with Rockchip to expand the breadth of and accelerate the rate at which it brings its Intel architecture to market for a range of entry-level Android tablets.”

According to lilliputing.com, a presentation at a Hong Kong Trade Development Council show in Hong Kong showed one of the first products of the a Intel-Rockchip alliance – a chip-set containing two Cortex A-5 processor cores for cheap ($40) tablets called XMM 6321.

Apparently the XMM 6321 is the predecessor to ‘Smart or Feature Phone on Intel Architecture’ (Sofia) chip-sets due next year.
