not at all :) it's a $2 quad-core 400mhz 55nm processor in a low-cost 210pin QFP package running (if i understand it correctly) the cray mainframe instruction set, with absolutely no proprietary hardware whatsoever: it's therefore FSF-Endorseable.
the allwinner a20 is a dual-core 1.2ghz ARM Cortex with proprietary video and 3D components priced somewhere around $7.
Ah... somehow I was thinking that the ICore SoC was ARM. Silly me! (Sounds like even if it were, it'd be noticeably worse than the GPU-with-some-small-processing-ability known as the RasPi ;) )
Oh well.
