Out of curiosity, how do those krait cores compare to the exynos a15 based cores that samsung is shipping in volume? I've been very impressed with their performance on chromeos as compared to older ip. With xen now building with a15 hvm support it would seem to make it easier to make use of that 2g of ram. It's hard to believe that android is really going to do much with that aside from the browser.

The A15 is quite a bit more powerful, even with lower clock speed. Cortex A15 supports hardware virtualization. I'm not sure if Krait supports it yet.

Generally--somewhat slower but uses less power.
