Well, my bet is on the Atom 14nm chips :-) With some luck I can port a full 
iForth to my then-phone.

OK, I hadn't expected that. So all executables that work on the underlying

Again, if Apple switches to Atom, I won't mind a short excursion to freeBSD.

Not bad. Maybe after another year of waiting SDL does work on Android...
