Do you think your Poke2 is fake or that the processor is fake?
No, my reader can comput very fast, 70x faster than my old 1 core 1GHz eink reader, but somthing was wrong during compilling linux/andorid for it, or something is wrong with refresh display policy/procedure. User experience is so sloooow. But speed mode and X mode is little solution. I think device need separate process in GPU to refresh display and now is it currently handled in the processor. From user manual, page 15:

Refresh Mode
Four levels of refresh mode are available.
Normal Mode: good display effect, suitable for general text reading.
Speed Mode: with slight ghosting, suitable for quickly reading image and text.
A2 Mode: Ghosting may exist, suitable for scrolling pages with image and
text.
X Mode: May cause serious loss of details, suitable for web pages and video.
Normal mode is the default mode; Speed mode is used while scrolling pages;
After selecting a new mode, to adjust the contrast could get a better effect;

From manuail for Your reader:
"The refresh modes are Normal Refresh (Regal Mode) and Fast Fresh (A2Mode)."

This is not about making a special processor for the appearance of qualcomm, but it's about little hack in FW/SW of device and profit 40-50 €/USD from one sold ereader with 1 core 1GHz as 8 cores 2GHz. But as i set before, it's not this story.
