[Q] MEdiapad 10 Link and 10 Link+ hardware difference? - Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard

Hello
My question has being - due search i came up - Mediapad 10 Link and Mediapad 10 Link+ appear to be similar devices except CPU speed - one is 1.2 Ghz quad-core other is 1.6 Ghz quad-core.
Anything else looks exact same - buoth are 4G tablets with 3 Mpix camera and 0.3 mpix front camera. GPS on both present, Wifi present.
Difference in numbers in Huawei support site seems to be S10-201L and second model is marked as S10-231L
For first one u can find only file available - 4.1.2 version for second model u can find 4.2 with EMUI 1.6
I have not seen any links of Link+ file system or anything else around on forum .... maybe someone can bring some additional data in ?

[EDIT - found answer after 2 hours of diggining deep in to dirt}
CPU: - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HiSilicon - appears , it's not only Cortex A9 u look at, but chip itself in play :S
32 bit Huawei HiSilicon KIRIN910 Hi6620 V9R1 on Mediapad 10 Link+
32 bit Huawei HiSilicon K3V2 Hi3620 on Mediapad 10 Link
along with graphics difference -
ARM Mali-450 on Link+(S10-231L) and Vivante GC4000 on Link (S10-201L)
Does someone know - if graphic drivers are compiled in to package separately "for platform" or they are universal something?

I think the drivers are in .so /.ko libs and modules along with the kernel code to talk to the vivante h/w via the blobs (example mali.ko )
If you are choosing between the two avoid the K3V2 in the 10Link, huawei dont seem to be producing the updated vivante drivers (blobs) required for KK/lolipop kernels, too old i guess.
If you intend to any developing i would look at other brands of cpu, the docs on the Hisilicon based cpu's is poor to very bad.
