The Cortex-A7 is also faster per-core, per-clock than the old ARM11 processor, and the clock is higher. So with 4x the amount of cores, some multiplier for the per-core, per-clock stats, and 1.28x the clock, 6x makes some (marketing) sense.

You might get 6x on some multicore benchmarks but for most applications in real life it's safe to say you're unlikely to see that.

> I stocked up on B+s over Christmas - oh well...

Got one for Christmas. Bought a case and a second one since. I knew it'd get outspecc'd someday, just wasn't expecting it THIS soon...

I bought on on Dec-31. Three weeks later, the bundle that I bought dropped in price.

Amazon price-matched it and then less than two weeks later...

Can you return them? If its less than 30 day...?

In the EU, the consumer rights directive allows you to return most goods bought online up to 14 days after delivery.
