That sentence isn't gonna age well.
>That was my point. It is slower than a RPI4, which is already too slow to use for anything serious.
I am still using my RPi1, but I guess my uses would not meet this arbitrary "something serious" tablet requirement.
Joking aside, the RPi4 is actually very fast, and its shortcomings are elsewhere than the CPU.
E.g. its GPU is grossly inadequate. Its video codec block can't encode. It lacks cryptography acceleration, so LUKS and SSL need to be done in the cpu with non-specialized instructions.
These are issues JH7110 does not have. The experience is much better with JH7110.
>The point I was trying to make, it that the other alternative, ARM, is also not suitable for StarLite's mission due to the closed blobs.
Ah. They buy the FSF nonsense where closed blobs need to be burned into a ROM for the machine to quality as "open".

Unfortunate, but I understand.
RISC-V is inevitable.
