ARM vs. PPC (why continue the PPC path?)

[dammy]

Really?

12 cores, 1.8 GHz, 6.0 DMIPS/MHz per core not good enough for you?

For embedded system, it's great for networking.  As far as going head to head with the A15, I have a feeling it's going to come up way short.  So what are the prices on the T4240?

A15 is about 40% faster than A9. That gives you about 3.5 DMIPS/MHz.

So what is the price on the T4240?  We can go on and on the exact performance that gives one or the other the upper hand, it boils down what is cheap and powerful enough to make the average user happy.   Now as far as OS4, I would prefer it to remain in PPCland.
