Yeah the one had the single core processor. The 2 got a dual core quads are on the way (if not already here). Its just a hardware limitation. I doubt a 4 generations old tablet from any other manufacturer would be any better, and would probably be built worse on a far less stable OS.
Whatever we get, I hope we are planning (and budgeting) for updating every single device at least once every 3-4 years. There is nothing we can get that will be timeless.
