Reader’s Digest version: a tablet/smartphone that will compete with desktops on speed and capability.

This is a pretty big deal.

...won’t compete with desktops, sorry, closer to laptops maybe. This looks like an nVidia K1 with a few more CPU cores but with less graphics horsepower.

Embedded processors always lag a number of years behind desktops.

That said, I agree that these new generations of SoC’s bring useful power to embedded devices.
