    First members of the QorIQ LS2 series with Cortex-A57 core announced to be available in 2H 2014:

    Not quite as fast as I was hoping for and only A57 cores, but still promising.
    RISC seems to be alive and well at Freescale.
    Interesting seeing them make a point of mentioning the continuing development of PPCs.
    BTW - What the heck does "already launching this year" mean? Already?
