10 cores, but only 2 are "fast" cores; and they're a 2015 model with the medium speed cores identical and only marginally higher clocked than the slow cores. Mediatek hardware elephantry at its finest. 
It's still probably an upgrade from an Amazon Kindle because they're absolute race to the bottom junk unsuited for anything but shopping from home or watching CatTube Prime Cat Video (no GApps on Amazon devices out of the box  ).
I have no experience with that model but do have a different no-name android tablet from China because of the huge hole on the market between Amazon's race to the bottom garbage and Samsung's compete with Apple on high price models. You definitely need to do your research and find some reviews before buying because quality on these devices is all over the map.
PS Thanks for linking this though, elsewhere I know a few people elsewhere who have been looking for replacements for older Android 7" tablets that don't massively suck; a year or two back and couldn't find anything with better specs than the Nexus 7's they wanted to replace. Assuming the screen isn't a train wreck this should fit the bill of better than that at least.

Thanks for the feedback on it.

That's what I'm thinking too. I mean it looks like on of the highest end Android tablets I can find.
It's so odd that there is such a huge hole in the market for this.
Like you said you basically have a choice of a Samsung on Android and one of iPad choices from Apple.
I actually have an iPad mini 3 that is still doing well and beats just about everything Android at the moment. I wish there were more choices for Android out there and you'd think there would be since it is an open platform. Totally confused about why there isn't more choice.

In the 8" class there's a fair amount of reasonablish ~$250 models if you're willing to order from overseas. The one I got is 1440p 8 core with 4x A7X cores.

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT.
So ... I'm up Monday.
So we want themed next week, or "back to normal"?
I have to say I'm not convinced by themes - this week was a combination of "too easy" and "too difficult" and I feel it's too hard to get the balance right.
Your thoughts?

I think go back to normal - the theme I inadvertently started ( spinners ) was taken up by chance so I thought it might work , but hey hoh

Maybe try it once a month and see if it improves with age and experience?

I couldn't figure out a way to indicate a 'keyword' (the spec is a little vague here), so I posted a 'general category' theme.
Which didn't give the original idea fair hearing.
Why don't you try to 'keyword' Monday's offering and see how it goes?
Alternatively, maybe Tuesday's child could be the one to form the first link in the chain - picking the key to link to - for extra points, if nothing else.

My wife asked me why I was speaking so softly at home.
I told her I was afraid Mark Zuckerberg was listening!
She laughed. I laughed.
Alexa laughed. Siri laughed.

And Mark only smirked, because he didn't want to reveal that he was in fact listening...

It's much more fun with three people:
"Destruct sequence 1, code 1-1 A."
"Destruct sequence 2, code 1-1 A-2B."
"Destruct sequence 3, code 1 B-2B-3."
And the captain gets the last word:
"Code zero zero zero. Destruct. Zero."

once people were worried about the Russians listening,
then it was the government,
yeah yeah, sure, the govt really needs to know what you had for dinner.... not!
now it's an even split between billionaires and the chinese communist party
(collectively: evil lying totally full of sh*t wankers)
...now they are friends with each other, I wonder, do they share? everything?
yeah yeah, sure, these pricks really want to know what you had for dinner.... yup! you bet!

Oh, I get it. The joke is all about the fact that Facebook, unlike Amazon and Apple, doesn't sell a listening device. And thus Zuckerberg is being made fun of because of it.
At least that's my spin on it.

Heilung - Othan[^]
I never thought I'd post a Heilung track as SOTW.
I've seen them live two years ago (or was it last year?) and while their show was pretty amazing I'm not a fan of their music.
They play a sort of droning, enchanting folk music.
They've released two new tracks for their upcoming album and they're actually pretty good.
YouTube played them for me and they stood out.
Seems like I should really check out that new album when it's released!

Um. Not my taste, really - I lasted the first minute by thinking "this would make a good background track for a video game".
Then I closed it.

A nice reminder ...  Their new work sounds somewhat different from their previous tracks, as it contains more "classic" singing… The vocals of Maria Franz are impressive, for example in this track : Maria Franz of Heilung - LIFA Vocals - YouTube, quite energizing ...

So the ૐ symbol stands for "Om", which is the most sacred syllable symbol and mantra for the almighty Hindu god Brahma.
That's what they're always chanting when meditating... "Oooooommmmmm".
You learn something new every day 
Great music though, but we already knew that.
