Chrome OS systems are meant to be lightweight systems that don't aim at the home desktop, but make suitable parallel systems. MediaTek and Rockchip are two of the most popular chipset makers from China, and according to reports, both could soon be powering Chrome OS devices.
In the video above, Charbax of ARMdevices.net can be seen demoing an RK3288 powered Chromium OS (open source version of the Chrome OS) system.
Most of today's Chrome OS devices ship with x86 powered Intel processors, but the Chrome OS is known to run flawlessly on ARM chips, HP Chromebook 11 being a prime example. Whether or not MediaTek and Rockchip systems prove to be as fast is yet to be seen, but both makers are said to be keen on having a line of Chrome OS systems so it would be safe to assume there will be quite a bit of development (and hopefully community support) for these.
