No you don't Vicky!!!!

You have AllWinner A10 chip which is Cortex A8. It is single core & normally comes @ 1GHz though few tablets have 1.2GHz speed. It has somewhat better GPU than my tablet otherwise *all* of the CPU benches are very close to what I get. GPU benches will give different results.

Run Sunspider and you will see somewhere between 3500-5000ms (normal for A8) though with very bad firmware, 7000-10000ms. A dual core Cortex A9 tablet will get about 1700-2200ms. Sunspider is very CPU intense bench.

Trust me. I have known about the AllWinner A10 chip before it was released. A10 = chip name. Just like Rockchip RK2918. RK2918 = chip name. Nvidia Tegra2. Tegra2 = chip name., etc.

AllWinner named it A10 to confuse people into thinking they have Cortex A10 when they are just buying a Cortex A8.

PS, ARM does not have any Cortex A10 chips. From A8 it goes to A9 and then A15.

PPS, Sorry if I am tough on you but this gets me worked up because I have seen many other people think the same thing and I hate dealing with Chinese misinformation.
