12/8/11 - Rumors and from one developer who's been posting videos of Android's new released OS ICS has come to the Novo 7 Advanced Model (Note that ICS is also coming to the Basic Model as well) but this news is quite surprising as there have been other rumors of Ainol ending poroduction of the Advanced Model and just going with the Basic. The thing is though both Models are different. they both use different CPUs and GPUs
Advanced CPU: Allwinner GPU is the Mali-400 (Which beats the GC860 in most everything to 3D Rending too playing back Videos, Etc)
Basic CPU: MIPS (aka Xburst) GPU is the GC860 (a step up from the GC800) and the bad news after all is some if not most apps. won't work with a MIPS CPU due to most apps. are developed for ARM CPU which is what the Allwinner CPU is based of
but anyways here's the Link "Posted by user
