China's Rockchip Dual-Core ARM Beats makes the best in business (Qualcomm Snapdragon, NVIDIA Tegra & Samsung Exynos) bite the dust

Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Company (or simply Rockchip) is mostly known for its low-power silicon which powers numerous entry-level tablets, smartphones, digital frames, personal media players etc. The company recently unveiled its high-performing chips, the RK 3000 Series. The company from Mainland China is powering vast majority of set-top-boxes, digital picture frames, personal media players and of course, numerous low-end tablets and smartphones. Given every product we've seen so far, you would not put Rockchip in the same class of product as Qualcomm Snapdragon, Nvidia Tegra, TI OMAP or Samsung Exynos. At Computex Taipei 2012, the company unveiled products based on the RK3066, first-generation dual-core chip based on ARM Cortex-A9 processors and using Mali-400MP as the GPU. At first glance, it looked like RK3066 cannot hold the candle to its contemporary competitors. Given Rockchip's focus on creating chips as affordable as possible, the company relied on TSMC

Facebook finally gets a Facelift in iOS 6 !!!

Facebook's iOS app has finally been re-written after literally years of waiting for all iphone fans (something which android fans don't have to do) .  That said we are positively shocked to see Zuck & Co. just push out a timely update to Facebook’s official iOS client. It adds full support for iOS 6, just 24 hours following its public release. The new version also mentions iPhone 5 support, but Facebook stopped short of detailing what that means. We have a huch it’s got to do something with taking advantage of that taller display. Here’s your changelog… Official notes still list enhancements from the previous versions. These include  “faster than ever”  scrolling through your news feed and twice as fast opening and closing of photos using downward swipe. Also from the previous version: performance tweaks, bug fixes, faster access to notifications and a new banner that you can tap to quickly see more stories without having to manually refresh.
