As far as I can see, rtl8710 uses ARM, FreeRTOS and has less RAM and less Flash compared to actual ESP8266. And it is more expensive than ESP8266, see http://www.aliexpress.com.
Somebody would have to build a firmware for this chip, I don't expect that this will happen soon.
But at the end, you never know .... everything could change if ESP32 comes to the market.
