                  Quote: "With the Cortex-A77, Arm has targeted the maximum instructions per cycle/clock (IPC) performance increase it could manage over the Cortex-A76. Clock frequencies, power consumption, and area, are all designed to remain roughly in the same ballpark, but the new core can crunch through more instruction at once. "

                  Yes you could get a older flagship SOC which would run much faster, but the users need to know if it has other features they want. E.g. OLED, water resistant or headphone jack.

                                        Most of the sales are Japan/Taiwan.
                                        Markets where people can afford higher prices.
                                        I would not be surprised if both combine for at least 65%.

                                        Xperia are the most popular android phones above $600 in Taiwan.
