Almost all the Honeycomb Tablets will be shipping with dual core ARM at 
1GHz (Tegra 2) and 1GB RAM. The Tegra roadmap I have seen projects a 75x 
increase in performance over the next 4 years (inc the graphics).

"While demonstrating Project Kal-El was exciting, we also gave a glimpse 
of our roadmap here at MWC. It includes Projects codenamed Wayne, Logan, 
and Stark, coming out in a steady one-year cadence over the next three 
years. You might well ask, What on earth can be done with nearly 75x 
improvement in performance over Tegra 2 that Stark will provide in 2014? "
