One potential use for this processor not mentioned in the above article would be in a Chromebook device. The eight processor cores are made up of two groups of four with one set the A7 based cores having power efficiency as their best attribute and the A15 based cores being much better performers at the cost of higher power consumption.
Imagine a Chromebook that used the A15 cores when plugged in and the A7 cores when running off of battery. You'd get the best of both worlds. Performance with the A7 based cores would still be good so there wouldn't be too much of a sacrifice when running off of battery and it would likely be possible to give people the ability to switch to the A15 cores if they didn't mind losing some longevity on their plug free time.
