Nothing on the Sage/Elipsa made effective use of the "extra" extra cores (most of the time, Nickel runs with only one core online); so it's a win-win situation, *especially* if we go by the behavior of the eerily-similar SoC found on the PW5 & Scribe (which positively *trounces* that sunxi part by every metric you can throw at it).
(The four cores bit is basically a crutch because of how terribly the pen mode is implemented on the sunxi display driver; only the Notepad ever onlined three cores, and the aforementioned driver behavior means one of those is pegged at 100% in pen mode. TL;DR => two effective cores with a sane display driver).
