You mentioned A55 and A35. There are good boards shipping those cores, now. rk356x and various Amlogic SoCs come to mind.
- rektide 4y agoThe A55's have been around for a bit, yeah. They just dont seem to be noticably better as cores (but there's been ongoing gains in uncore). You may be right that there's just not much headroom perhaps. But supposedly the A510 and announced A515 offer some real gains. I havent tried the A35. I see them as more targetted towards MID devices than the A7 was butb hats product-market segmemtation maybe.
