Maybe this is crazy question, but I would like to know that comparing in the title named two chips (or three) - strong enough or not - at least a netbook computing level? Mainly I'm interested to Exynos 4412 can provide it or not.... I'm asking this because I have seen an amazing offer from Friendly ARM, a T1 board with Exynos 4412 and tons of expansion pins that doesn't limit me in experimenting with many things if I need or would like to. http://www.cnx-software.com/2014/01/20/69-nanopc-by-friendlyarm-features-samsung-exynos-4412-soc/ [1] According to the prize, pretty neat to have such board for 69 bucks. Is there any comparison between them? More info about the Exynos 4412 under fedora?
I'm not sure about specific Fedora kernel support for that SoC, but in terms of computing power a quad-core 1.5GHz Cortex A9 (as the system is described on the link you provided) is quite a lot of CPU power. It is at least comparable (on multi-threaded tasks) to the Samsung Chromebook (dual core A15), and better than most previous similar laptops (e.g. Toshiba AC100 and Genesi Efika MX). I have an AC100 clocked up to 1.4GHz and it is quite pleasant to use. A faster clocked A9 with twice as many cores and RAM should easily be sufficient for typical desktop use, including bloatware like Firefox, Thunderbird, and LibreOffice (albeit perhaps not all three at the same time with only 1GB of RAM).
