I think by now It's obvious that the standard ARM A15 core has some power consumption / thermal properties that don't go well with smartphone implementation.
That's why Apple went to develop a custom Swift ARM reference, and other manufacturers are following

Heard of krait core? Everyone is following Qualcomm here!

I think this is right time for Intel to make a move with their best x86 atom core!

The Scorpion core instead of A9, and now Krait.
That's the difference

well...I just hope that it will be powerfull enought to beat Qualcomms snapdragon 800, because if it is not then there is no sense in making it because LG and qualcomm have great relationship and I dont see any reason to spoil that...
