Last I checked they were using some pretty old 32-bit ARM cores (probably Cortex-A9). They should try and get some of these, if the offer is good:

Here's the ARK page for them: http://ark.intel.com/products/codename/54859/Avoton

It seems like they're actually not that bad: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Xeon-E3-1220-v2-vs-Intel-Atom-...
