" Notebook Check further reports that the Mali 450 will also be available in a six-core variant, the Mali MP6, which will reportedly offer 25 percent less performance."

To funny, so the 6 core offers 25% less performance than the 4 core chip?

45 Gflops? I'd never have guessed it was that low. That's still lower than 2004's geforce 6800gtx.

The M8 is an 8-core Mali 450 GPU. The M6 is a 6-core Mali 450 GPU. The AmLogic SoC that the article is about is a chip that pairs four 2GHz Cortex A9 cores with the 8-core M8 Mali 450 GPU. Another variant of the SoC that has four A9 cores and the M6 6-core Mali 450 GPU would have 25% less GPU cores and, appropriately, 25% less GPU performance.

True, but this is fanless and uses somewhere around 5% of the energy. And this is a Chinese chip, not exactly comparable to something like the Tegra 4.

This, I think.

The Mail 450 is a low-end solution.
