Im not totally disagreeing, but I don't think there is a whole lot of  
difference between the A15's and the A9's though, after you add the A9  
bugfixes. They have 4 processors instead of two, shrink the die, and  
make the chip so you can up the voltage on it (ie 1.5Mhz for low power  
cell phones, 2.5Mhz for workstations/servers) and add the ability to  
use both ddr3 lowE and regular sdram.(ddr3 ecc?)

They were talking about starting to ship about a year or so behind the  
A9's which are pretty much on time.
