Isn't the cRio a dual core PowerPC, ~400mHz?
Given that, it's not the number of cores that will matter, the roboRio will provide more MIPS just on clock speed (yeah, I know, how deep are the pipelines), plus some architectural enhancements. I kinda suspect the RTOS switch may be a wash, but I have not dug deep enough to comment. Just on OS bigotry I like the switch to Linux.
