Not really. Mali400 is a pretty respectable package still, and it just
got a boost by doubling the core count in Mali450 (the first examples
should be shipping around now - that's how recent it is). It cannot keep
up with the very latest generation of GLES3 mobile cores, especially
since it is a pure GLES2 core with separate shaders, but when it
featured in the galaxy s2 and s3 it was a real gorilla in the room.
On the A20 though, it is a 2PP version only, which supposedly clocks to
only 350MHz. Still, it should be able to keep the A20 memory bus well
busy.
More importantly though, it should soon get a proper mesa driver which
should perform close to the binary driver.
