Hopes for 2013?

How about a 2GHz Quad core Cortex A15MP with a eight core Mali-T658 GPU?

It is possible.

Samsung Exynos 5450.

Maybe the time to start planning the ISA change is now.

I wasn't able to work with IBM, and Freescale processors continue to be late and expensive, but I'd be willing to bet that processor/GPU modules with this combination will be available at "reasonable" prices by next year.

It woudn't be nearly as difficult to work with this as the task undertaken by Aeon.
