Man i wish all winner change their gpu offering from MALI-400 to MALI-450/T720 for all their new SOC
I keep seeing MALI-400MP2 in ALL their new chips, even for the new cortex A53 AFAIK. (-_-“)
New SOC same olde GPU performance. this extremely limit gaming capabilities.
P.S they also have updated their page with a bunch of R series chips (R8, R16 and R58)
