I see the processor to be MT8163A. Is this an ARM chip or Intel? If ARM, does that mean only apps compiled for ARM can run on this?

- wila 11y agoMT = MediaTek. If the CPU is MediaTek then pretty much by definition it isn't an intel. There are intel based tablets with a mediatek chipset though. BTW, a cursory search seems to the suggest that MT8163A is a quad core ARM cortex A7 based CPU.

- adrusi 11y agoYeah, it's ARM-based. Fortunately this isn't a big deal when the idea is to use a mix of new application created specificaly for this platform and existing open source applications, nearly all of which compile on and have been packaged for ARM.
