Yes it seems likely and the fact that the low power cores to which the article relates have been disabled this could be a nod to the fact that these will not be used in the chips which will power the RTM units when they finally surface. Also, perhaps some of the embedded image processing stuff which is used by mobile device cameras won't be required.

Looking at the bigger picture though, some of the tech which goes into these new generations of processing engines is mind bending stuff so it's difficult to make meaningful comparisons with the olde worlde tech we used to use in our systems to play Doom and Sim City.
