Rockchip 3288-Based Tablets Sooner Than We Thought?

Could be. Just released in China is a new Wii-like game console that uses the Rockchip 3288 CPU [Google Translate].

We’ll see.

If you’ve been thinking about buying the Retina-class iFive Mini 3, it might be time to start waiting for its 3288-based follow-up.
