Is it ARM since AllWinner is involved, or is it MIPS? Campaign is very sparse on details I assume people interested in, say, kernel hacker pledge level would like to know.
It says it's a 1GHz A13 compatible, so that's a Cortex A8.

[edit] And specifically it has an Allwinner R8 logo, which I assume is a lower-cost A13 replacement (no information about that part on Allwinner's site).

$20 shipping to Australia brings the price almost level with the Raspberry PI 2 :/
When it's retail and not a crowdfunded wet dream.
Amazing and could really be impactful.

That said, gotta wonder what the labor/environmental impact is on that one... how cheap was that labor, how poorly are the spent chemicals discarded, and where do those materials come from?
