This is a statement that their products will give inferior performance – presumably also at a lower price. It’s a very pessimistic road map.

i mean, i was hoping for OMAP5 quadcore cortex a15 + PowerVR SGX 6 series…
but OMAP5 is only dual core cortex a15 with dual core cortex m5 or something

My guess is the loss of Motorola Mobility, and the stagnation of RIM was enough for TI to concede their market share.
