One of the first Android TV sticks to be powered by a "QUAD-CORE" (YES!!! you heard it right) ARM Cortex-A9 processor. The GK802 is a tiny computer about the size of a USB flash drive.

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

"PATHBREAKING INNOVATION TODAY IS OUTDATED TOMORROW" This is the mantra of this fast paced IT world.

THE STORY TILL NOW:-  One had still not overcome the awesomeness of the MK802, It's sheer size was a matter of discussions in many a forums. "Look at the size of that thing, how can it be a PC". " The power of PC in your hand" were the slogans and quotes showered on the MK802, which truly was a revolutionary product. MK802 was followed up by a lot of versions - MK802 II, MK802+ and what not.  Then came the UG802 it changed the core and added one more, (Dual-core). users and bloggers reviewers massacred the MK802 vis-a-vis UG802 and UG802 Dual core Android PC ( on a dongle) was the winner in all forums.
