Sailfish can, I believe, use Android linux drivers from SoC vendors, important, as no-one is going to release a Sailfish specific linux driver for their SoC.
By the way, what's going on with Intel's mobile CPU/GPU?

the 22nm bay trail atom looks promising, but nothing arm cannot keep up with on the sub 4W front.

The best method is Android.
Say what you want but Google is twelve steps ahead of Linux.
Open Source philosophy is what drags Linux down.
Android is not open source.
Its closed source dictated by one company.
But the company has good direction, and later opens up the source.
Its a hybrid approach, and one much suited for this world.
We need the same muscle and philosophy Google uses on Android, except one for true Linux systems.
Nokia was meant to be it.
Nokia made some cool stuff. Then they stopped doing that.
The N900 successor was meant to be a qwerty-tilt device with competitive hardware and superior software.
Yet the N9 we dreamt was trashed, and we got a bastardized iPhone competitor.
At this point, I'm just giving up hope.
Maybe Linux could catch a break. Maybe. Who knows.
I'm simply not holding my breath anymore, my phones will no longer be mobile computers but "fun gadgets" instead.

It looks unlikely that it will use an OpenGL ES 3.0 SoC. I noticed that thp has been busy creating/editting a Harmattan Porting page on the Sailfish wiki and it only talks about using OpenGL ES 1.1 and 2.0. There is no mention of OpenGL ES 3.0.

The SoC will be some midend gfx/cpu
Cool games.
Come on, you can dream up some of that yourself. And often you see that new technology sparks new inventions. I've seen multiple new wireless things, which thanks to the extreme low power requirements of bluetooth 4 are finally capable of directly communicating with smartphones.

in addition to android 4.3, IOS 7 now supports openGL ES 3.0.

BlackBerry 10 runs great and smooth. That's all I ask for. Optimized software if better than having the latest hardware.

and that is just the start:
