Tips for reading mobile SoC marketing sites: - if they aren't bragging about cache sizes, they're isn't any to speak of - the advertised max clock is a crock (you'll top out ~20% lower, because power/thermals) - "Cortex-A53" and "Cortex-A7" are longhand for "slow"

"Cortex-A53" and "Cortex-A7" formally expand to "64-bit slow" and "32-bit slow" (respectively), but it doesn't actually matter. 53s often get run in 32-bit mode to conserve RAM. Adding more of them only gets you an "ish" suffix, at best, as in "slowish"
