@earl cameron: Neither, it will be using the Cortex A7. As for GPU, PowerVR SGX544 for this one, but previously it used SGX531 for the MTK6575 and 6577.

Seems like a nice processor as:
” A single Cortex-A7 processor can deliver 5x energy-efficiency, 50% greater performance and is one fifth the size of the ARM Cortex-A8 processor, which powers many of today’s most popular smartphones”
As this is a Quadcore is should preform very decent and the upgrade for the GPU isn’t to bad as well. Should give a few nice new handsets have December :D!
Already waiting for the Jiayu G4 with 1080P screen that we will hear rumors about in October and will launch somewhere in March :’)

The real news is this: Dual-sim WCDMA. Finally!! For everyday use, the PowerVR SGX544 should do fine as well. I can’t wait to see the new wave of devices, however I don’t think that there’s gonna be real availability of those until early 2013..

That’s some very good news. Now we can have decent tablets also which can be dual sim blue tooth 4 gps and so on..
Going from the Chinese records, their target should be Christmas sale for 6588 equipped phone / tablets .
