"I'd like to point out that the article is mostly speculation on Kanter's part. First of all ImgTec GPUs have more customization options than only the number of units they're made of. It is known that ImgTec provides whole-stack customization to its customers (e.g. http://libv.livejournal.com/26972.html). Secondly he's using an optimization guide to infer the microarchitecture of the GPU. The optimization guide however is not an accurate description of the underlying design, it can be significantly misleading."
Speaking of A10, (this is a big leap), where is the review for the new Macbook Pro(13" non-touch, 13" touch, 15")? Apple has fixed the battery issue, Consumer Report is recommending the laptops again. You can now freely praise the lord :) Please release the reviews before the new kaby lake macbook pros come out later this year ;)
MediaTek used PowerVR in past, now all MediaTek SoC uses Mali. Intel also used PowerVR in Atom Z2000 serise. Spreadtrum never used PowerVR. They always used Mali.
