May I ask you: why programming VC4 (apart from taking over the control of the rest of Raspberry Pi?) It's only 250 MHz? And if you want the new control of the Raspberry Pi, why, as it's so proprietary?

Clock speed is only a very small part of the performance of a chip when comparing across completely different architectures (like VC4 vs. ARM).

Because the VC4 is really cool, basically.
