Tegra2 was notoriously one of the few ARMv7 chips without NEON. I actually agree that Denver 1 in the K1 is really fast, but it's not scored many designs wins,

Tegra2 was notoriously one of the few ARMv7 chips without NEON. I actually agree that Denver 1 in the K1 is really fast, but it's not scored many designs wins, perhaps exactly because of the thermal restraints. The A15 based design seems to have less of that problem.
