Is TI also going for Kinpo?

It's got almost nothing in common with the 35S. The 36X Pro has a lot fewer bugs, for starters. No clue on the CPU; datamath.org indicates it's a chip-on-board epoxy blob, so there isn't anything to ID it. If I had to guess, it's probably Z80 like the graphers.

It feels more like a slimmed-down 83. I'm pretty impressed with it so far. There are better, more powerful options out there, but not for $20.
