They make them multi-core/multi-GHz now, with PCIe lanes :) They're going in the little netbooks, so I imagine a tablet isn't far away if not already done too. I have a couple here I could reasonably plug my tablet into, but that's also not something I _need_ to do right now. So if nobody shakes out to actually do the benchmarks and complain about the results, it's easy to leave this on the shelf until it is needed. I'd still be curious to see this benchmarked on other arches though, if someone has the itch for a thing like that.
