Re: Hardly unexpected
@daniel - thank you for proving my point. The Pi is far from the only SBC, and even it is available with better than a Cortex A7, thus proving your assertion on performance limits wrong. The ODROID UX4 uses the A15 paired with A7s in big.LITTLE, but the A53 uses the newer ARMv8-A instruction set so is faster at a given clock speed.
Not having source for the GPU driver doesn't stop most IoT developers (no SoC that I'm aware of has open GPU drivers, and x86 systems with open GPU drivers normally significantly underperform the OEM BLOB). Not having source or correct details to make it talk to external devices through the likes of GPIO, SPI, I2C etc does.
