Can Sony emulate Jaguar 100% on Puma? I don't see how its worth it for the small bump
Puma is the same 3.1 mm2 as Jaguar AFAIK. Which implies process improvements (hence the up to 2.5 GHz part and lower TDP) instead of actual design changes. So I suspect Puma+ is again exactly the same but process improved. Alas I don't which generations of 28nm tech the various cores are built on to answer said hypothesis.
Any work done porting Jaguar to 14nm could be anything from speeding up the communication between the modules and various minor tweaks (as the cat team is gone, I don't think semi custom will do too much) to basically nothing except improving power use.
