 pretty much, yes.  the exynos5 is a dual-core ARM Cortex A15 with a
top speed around 2ghz (5 watts though!) whilst the iMX6 is an ARM
Cortex A9 base.  i believe i'm right in saying that you'll get double
the performance out of the Exynos5 even at the same clock rate.  the
difference is primarily because the A15 has longer pipelines in its
harvard architectural design.
