I don't know if I would classify the OMAP4 as "old", unless you're Apple and spinning Cortex-A cores on your own silicon.

The OMAP4 is really no different than the Sitara AM335 being used in stuff like Beaglebone Black, with the exception of the video DSP. And I can see why Google would want that DSP on board to do things like hardware video encoding.
