Rockchip is making a technological jump from ARM9 trying catch up with Cortex-A8 based 1.2Ghz RK29xx series of CPUs.

Product web page seems to be only in Chinese so here is the Google translated spec of the "new high-end Swiss-core mobile Internet platform".
We have heard of Swiss cheese but Swiss-core(?!), something lost in translation or perhaps this is a new generic term for the functionality packed SoC?
The new chip claim to fame seems to be the 3D support (presumably for no glasses 3D) and curious inclusion of the  ATSC-T/MH  - U.S. terrestrial digital TV decoder.
