You will see that Generic Devices are split into 4 subforums. All Android tablets to date have application processors based on these CPU types. x86 is the type CPU in your typical PC or Mac. Most devices are 'ARM', which is a CPU type that is less powerful but more power efficient than the x86 CPUs. Thus you see most mobile devices including cellphones and tablets using ARM CPUs. Of the types of ARM CPUs, they are distinguished by their revision, just like how there's Pentium 2, Pentium 4, Pentium 4. Only if you are still confused, ask the question in the General Section. Thanks. Identifying the type of CPUARMv5 Examples:
Code:
ARM926EJ-S based* Rockchip RK2808, RK2818 (Apad iRobot/Moonse E7001)* VIA WM8505 (Eken M001, M002, M003. Flytouch Epad) Xscale Basd* Marvel PXA2xx, PXA3xx
ARMv6 Examples:
Code:
ARM1176JZ based* Telechips TCC8902 (SmartQ v7)
ARMv7 Examples:
Code:
