Hello,

Accordingly to "Power struggles: Revisiting the RISC vs. CISC debate on
contemporary ARM and x86 architectures", Blem, E., the A15 has a ROB with
60 entries (footnote p. 8).

The configurations in [1], both for the A7 and A15, were not compared to
real HW. They were based on the authors knowledge at the time.

Regards,
