It appears that this article is confusing Qualcomm's Krait architecture with Kryo: "Qualcomm did the same up to 2016 with the Kryo architecture." That timing is very much wrong. "[Krait] was introduced in 2012 as a successor to the Scorpion CPU and although it has architectural similarities, Krait is not a Cortex-A15 core, but it was designed in-house.[1] In 2015, Krait was superseded by the 64-bit Kryo architecture, first introduced in Snapdragon 820 SoC." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krait_(processor) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krait_(processor)
