Slight correction: Krait was the name for the excellent ARMv7 core design. The underwhelming ARMv8 replacement was named Kryo. Confusingly, they (at least for a while) kept the Kryo branding even after they switched to lightly-customized versions of cores designed by ARM. |

The renaming part btw was quite awful of them, they had a hard time acknowledging that they went back to Cortex based cores and I remember their press release trying to imply they didn't.
They were quite hammering the fact they had a custom arch pre v8, and the turnaround was difficult for them to admit.
