Been waiting for this since the first dual core mobile processor was announced.
Currently the highend mobile SOC are based on ARM Cortex A9 & A15 is just round the corner. so why go back to A7? cheaper. low-power. but still faster.
the new core will allow 2 things: 10k mobiles will ship with dual core processor having clockspeed in excess of 1Ghz (1.2-1.5Ghz expected) & act as a companion core to the highend SOC with power hungry cores. something Nvidia have implemented in their Kal-el range of SOCs (4+1 core). But this one won't be here before 2012. most likely Q4 2012-Q1 2013. long way to go.
