 wow.  then that confirms what my ears didn't at first believe, that
the large-volume price of the A20 is $7.50.  for a 1.2ghz (possibly
even faster) dual-core processor with SATA, Ethernet, HDMI and
everything else.  whereas the iMX6-Dual is $22 for the 1ghz version
for example.

 i'm.... really confused.  why is there such a huge discrepancy in
pricing, here?  it's not like there's even any competition inside
china: allwinner's pricing is even lower than other chinese SoCs.

 regardless: it's a major turning-point.  things get very interesting now.
