The 1-2 Arm A9 Zynqs were introduced in 2011. There has been much progress!
MPSoCs have 4x Arm A53s and 2x Arm R5s (and Mali-400 graphics, although they're moving away from that because they found most customers don't care about that).
RFSoCs have something similar - strapped directly to tiles that do 4-6 Gbps analog/digital or digital/analog converters. If you're trying to make a badass missile front end, radio system, or radar system they're amazing!
They even have FEC hard cores that run incredibly fast. They're amazing for all kinds of waveform work.
