 A dual-core on a far more advanced architecture at a higher clock speed can and will be faster than a quad-core.

For single/duo threads? Yes. For more? No.

Old Arch (quad-core) > New Arch (duo-core) > Old Arch (duo-core) * When you use all four cores.

* Unless the clock difference is too big like Duo-core@1.8Ghz vs. Quad-core@1.0Ghz *

Is it just me or are you actually agreeing with my quoted post?

I stated the A15 would be NEW ARCH and HIGHER CLOCK SPEED and that's why it would beat the quad core A9.

You said "Old Arch (quad-core) > New Arch (duo-core) > Old Arch (duo-core) * When you use all four cores."

But then agreed with me in regards to higher clock speed by saying "Unless the clock difference is too big like Duo-core@1.8Ghz vs. Quad-core@1.0Ghz".

Its specifically noted the A15 is far more efficient and faster. It has better cache and can do a much higher clock speed at the same power usage and heat. There is no way an dual-core A15 with a likely high clock speed (1.2Ghz or 1.5GHz) will get beaten by a likely 800MHz Quad-core A9 in the Vita.
