Sub-$100 tablets are about to get mainstream quad cores thanks to the latest chip from Allwinner. From July mass-production of the new quad core Allwinner A33 will begin. Interestingly, the Allwinner A33 will cost just $4.99 to tablet manufacturers and apparently Allwinner will be making reference tablets for the new quad cores that cost as little as $40 to make, so will likely sell for $50.
The Allwinner A33 chip has four ARM Cortex-A7 processor cores and ARM Mali-400 MP2 graphics. The design is pin-compatible with older A23 dual core designs meaning older tablet platforms can easily be upgraded to the new CPU. According to Allwinner they expect reference tablet platforms with the following specifications:
The below tablets will cost around $40-50 to make so will probably have street prices below $75.
