Now I would like to see some SoC using this. I have been waiting for years to replace my power hungry x86-x64 equipment with a low power consumption arm board... I have been looking for low power x64 cpus (because of steam) but non convinces me because they perform really poor...
Strange that they do not even mention any Spectre mitigation attempts. One would think that every customer wants to know if a new core is still susceptible to these dire security flaws.
Decoupled branch prediction and instruction fetch: Built to hide latency at high bandwidth, the in-order Cortex-A76 front-end is able to fetch 4 to 8 instructions per cycle, using multi-level branch target caches and hybrid indirect predictor to sustain the maximum throughput.

This isn't gaming. This is office productivity. And at the low, casual users and students end. Future wise, any foray into the gaming desktop / workstation performance space will go through a console manufacturer like Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft. Once the major engines are ported, more open PC-like designs might be an option. But that's 2-4 years from now...

Yeah, I've been searching for a Linux compatible ARM-based laptop for years. But, most of them are poor quality, have useless GPU drivers, or lack too many features (that I know other ARM devices support). I really want the Asus NovaGo, but it isn't clear if Linux can run on it, let alone well.
Yeah, it might not actually be 7nm (I hear some companies exaggerate the size based on how the shape and layout of the transistors) but I believe it would be close enough, and achievable. Unlike x86, ARM chips are expected to have a low TDP and low frequency. I get the impression one of the main limitations of modern x86 CPUs getting die shrinks is because they can't maintain their high clock speeds, probably because such speeds require higher voltage, which promotes quantum tunneling. Even if <=10nm nodes are unstable for the demands of x86, that could be largely irrelevant for ARM.
