The Parker has two Pascal Tegra chips on it (aka the Tegra X2), so that's why people are keying on it.
It looks like Tegra X2 isn't a huge performance boost over X1 (625 gigaflops vs. 500 gigaflops), but there likely are decent energy savings, architecture improvements, and the big difference is Tegra X2/Pascal can have 50GB/sec of memory bandwidth on a 128-bit bus, whereas Tegra X1 only can do half that.
Memory bandwidth is key for gaming.
