Two cores that are twice as fast would be preferable to four slower cores. Since PCEngines wouldn't be powering up the GPU side of the chip, they could probably make pretty good use of the new CPU's boost clock capabilities. That plus the microarchitecture advantages of Zen over Jaguar, and the higher DRAM bandwidth should make the two-core Zen parts competitive. But I could also see them waiting for 7nm embedded parts.
