It's much smaller then a standard pi0, and has specs that are very close. Provided that it's not a scam, it could compete well when building a GameBoyZero.

That looks really neat! It does only have 64MB of ram though (512Mbit = 64MByte) so it is pretty much a high spec router CPU. All the developer friendly examples are good though

but it's probably not going to be better than the Pi Zero..

maybe the ram is just a typo? the demos with the keyboard down the page look a bit too intensive for just 64MB of ram? it does look interesting though

Nope afraid not a typo
http://linux-sunxi.org/LicheePi_Zero there isn't any external RAM it can only be embedded in the CPU chip, and according to the images it's the V3s

Yeah shame really as EVERYTHING else about it is good.. like even if the CPU was the AllWinner H3 or something it would be a fantastic module, basically like the CHIP..
EDIT: chip already is allwinner

CHIP (and pro) are allwinner already
