I think doubling the power consumption due to CPU utilization is too harsh. While Kraken is a single threaded benchmark the Linux kernel (on Chromebook, and elsewhere according to my observations) likes to constantly swap which core things are running on. That's going to make it hard to power down the core, and Exynos 5 doesn't have any asynchronous DVFS so both cores are always clocked at 1.7GHz. You get some power savings from the core going idle but all of the swapping may even affect this. Android is hopefully better about allowing cores to be powered down when you don't need them.Quote:

On tablets and Chromebook ~7.2V batteries are usually used, because they're more efficient for the displays (which typically use the most power) but less efficient for the SoC. On phones the situation is reversed so ~3.7V batteries are used. In this case you'll see less power consumption from the SoC, but either way it doesn't impact its TDP. That along with more power efficient (LPDDR2/3, PoP) and probably lower clocked memory will help save power on phones, and it's possible that the Exynos 5 in the package on Chromebook is a leakier variant.
"Current limitations though of running Ubuntu 12.04 on the Samsung Chromebook is that the touchpad didn't work at all for me (some users have reported success), sound is broken, and there isn't any hardware graphics acceleration at this time."http://blogs.arm.com/software-enable...-3-chromebook/

there was already the arm blog you could have used

14. The touchpad requires an additional configuration file called 50-touchpad.conf placed into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ Using your preferred text editor create the required file
(I’m using Vim)
sudo vi etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-touchpad.conf
Add the contents below
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "FingerHigh" "5"
Option "FingerLow" "5"
EndSection
15. To get audio working copy the contents of ...
oh and you probably also missed the ODROID-U: mini-PC with 1.4 GHz quad-core Exynos SoC for $69 re-fresh news too

you should probably get a few of those cheap Exynos4 Quad A9's and add them to your existing cluster to give it a big boost :)
the U2 Prime 1.7GHz Mali-400, 2 GB of memory and x2 Prime 1.7GHz are over clockable to 2gig so worth a try and a front page perhaps
they should keep you busy until the Exynos 5 quad/Octo core arrives at least...
