> I compiled a small list of DMIPS per MHz and core figures for various > recent and future cores implementing ARM ISA: > > ARM Cortex-A8: 2.0 > Qualcomm Scorpion: 2.1 > Marvell Sheeva PJ4: 2.4 > ARM Cortex-A9: 2.5 > Qualcomm Krait: 3.0...3.5 (estimated) > ARM Cortex-A15: 3.5 (estimated)
"A new pipeline architecture increases the performance of Krait by over 60% compared to Qualcomm's existing Scorpion CPU micro-architecture." http://www.qualcomm.com/documents/files/snapdragon-s4-processors-system-on-chip-solutions-for-a-new-mobile-age-white-paper.pdf (page 3)
Going by that, Qualcomm's Krait core could deliver as much as about 3.4 DMIPS per MHz and core.
