I disagree with that statement as it stands, but it's accurate in that the frequency isn't a true indication of resulting speeds. Just the same, the intention here is to satisfy the need for a system that can perform faster than what we're seeing now and 400MHz on the ARM in the N8x0 series are appearing to perform at roughly about what you'd expect for 400MHz.. so I'd like to see that speed increase enough to be able to process things in realtime a little better (video/audio processing on the current processor are a bit woeful... but the DSP might help with this. Question: is the DSP fully integrated to all the video, audio, memory and CPU systems and does everyone have adequate information to be able to take full advantage? I'm asking since I don't know--but if I'm not mistaken it's a "no" all-around thanks to a lot of the closed-source mentality from the hardware end of things.)
