Yeah, we had warnings of this.
It seems that Qualcomm was not satisfied with only MSM numbers and SDM numbers and so they had to come up with stupid names (q.v. "Bengal")
I had reported this earlier as Snapdragon 630. (Maybe 620?)
Still, it's a step down from the 636 octocore in the Poke3.
Would the worse CPU translate to general sluggishness when using the device? I'm worried it might make dictionary look ups slower using 3rd party apps such as Goldendict and aard2.

My Kobo Libra 2 is already a nightmare using the built in dictionary in Koreader - it takes ages for it to render a result. I would not want to buy a new device only to discover that dictionary look ups take forever.

If it'll be slower than my Nova 3 I might just pass.
