I won't pre-order the Jolla phone... but I will pre-order this.

Spec rumour:
1.5GHz Dualcore A9 (40nm processing)
2GB RAM
1280 x 720 LCD-IPS screen (7 inches)

seems like an amlogic dual core soc is being used. Maybe
Might be rockchip rk3066 too but they usually decribe it as 1.6GHz dual core A9

There's a strong possibility that its the AMLogic one.
Aaron said it was 1.3GHz which is what the AML8726-M6 runs at.

The 1.5GHz figures you see advertised for it is false, that's the unstable overclock speed. 1.3GHz is its true rating, I know cause I was one of the early ones with that SoC and petitioned to AMLogic to release source (which they did and it was all wrong, but after a month and some more leaks and hacks, people were able to make custom kernels for it).

Some are saying its an Intel SoC, I highly doubt this because of three key reasons:
1- Vivaldi software, all efforts have been for ARM-based system
2- Intel chips cost much more, and require high quantities
3- Intel doesn't have a current Z-line Atom that I can think of which runs at 1.3GHz (its 1.6GHz or higher)

After some kernel updates amlogic-m6 was able to run at 1.5GHz they lowered it to 1.3GHz because people were noticing heating up of tablet .
Can't be intel since it use power vr sgx540 . Power vr wouldn't provide it's source code so easily i assume(have heard that a lot).
I don't mind the soc if they provide a quite optimised OS running on it.
