If we get lucky, then we nailed the silicon the first time,' Chen said. 'If the chip is not a success at first, then we need to do it again which would take another two, three months.

Instead of the standard process of design, make, test, repeat, Rockchip rapidly stitches together basic building blocks offered by ARM that have become the industry standard and leapfrog through the make and test process, while skipping a follow-up cycle. That is why you see a lot of these customers announce a new ARM product very, very early.' 'All through the decision process the aim is for speed. 'They have got a lot of guts,' said Allen Wu, who heads ARM in China. Its path up the technology ladder was much quicker than its older rivals because it threw conventional wisdom out the window.

From there, they write the software that lets it interact with the rest of an electronics device.Р”В«ased in Fuzhou, Fujian province, halfway between Hong Kong and Shanghai, Rockchip started as a maker of chips used in cheap media players, Chinese equivalents to Apple's iPod. Chipmakers work with ARM's designs adding functionality such as memory, connectivity and graphics, then prepare a production design, send it to be manufactured, test the finished product to see if it works - then repeat the process until it is perfect. Qualcomm uses it to produce its Snapdragon processors that power millions of smartphones globally. They can save years of investments by leveraging ARM's IP.' From its base in Cambridge in the UK, ARM designs the brain of modern processors, and licenses it and the right to use the basics of its technology to the likes of Intel Corp, Qualcomm Inc and Apple Inc.Р”В¬hipmakers use those blueprints or the underpinning technology to create their own products according to their own specialties. 'ARM is a springboard for a lot of Chinese firms,' said Mark Li, an analyst at Sanford C Bernstein. Over 80 percent of the world's smartphones were made in China in 2013, according to SEMI. China's share of global chip consumption may hit 60 percent in coming years, yet its production is likely to reach only about 15 percent next year, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. 'There's still a lot of challenges, but we are standing on the shoulders of giants instead of climbing up from scratch.'Р”Р„dding business in China is crucial for ARM. 'Before it was like building something brick by brick, but now it is as though you can build a high-rise in 10 days,' said Feng Chen, Rockchip's chief marketing officer. These Chinese upstarts, by contrast, skyrocketed through the rankings by taking the kinds of risks nimbler companies can afford, and by relying on chip designs from United Kingdom's ARM Holdings Plc. Their Asian predecessors such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co and Samsung Electronics, took decades to develop the expertise and scale to make an impact. Rockchip Electronics Co and Allwinner Technology Co increased sales from a combined 0.3 percent of the market for tablet computer processors in 2010 to more than 27 percent just three years later. no Bluetooth) this is a high-end tablet competing with 10РІР‚С– Tegra 3 tablets, and to some extents the new iPAD and Google Nexus 10, although the CPU performance will be much slower.Two Chinese companies scarcely known outside their home country have amassed almost one-third of the market for tablet chips in less than a half-decade - creating headaches for top semiconductor makers led by Intel Corp. Even though Onda has cut some corners to keep the price low (e.g.

According to some screenshots found on Gizmochina, the Power VR GPU in AllWinner A31 provides twice of performance of Tegra 3 and 0.9 the performance of the GPU in the new iPAD. The tablet will come with a charger and a USB cable, and be sold for $239.99 starting mid-December.
