I think we all are waiting expectantly...
There has been a (clearly unofficial) announcement on tiplanet regarding the G2 however:
https://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php...ead#unread

So theres that...

What we know so far is that the CPU appears to be an NXP MCIMX6Y2 i.MX 6ULL which has an Arm Cortex-A7 core. (The "MCIMX6Y2" string is present in the firmware image in various FreeRTOS kernel source pathnames. I guess support for that CPU in FreeRTOS is fairly new as I can't find it mentioned on the FreeRTOS or NXP web-sites.)

The MCIMX6Y2 is available in two commercial speed grades (core frequencies of 528 MHz or 900 MHz) and in two industrial speed grades (528 MHz or 792 MHz). Assuming the HP Prime G2 uses 528 MHz, and given the other speed advantages of the Cortex-A7 regarding cache usage, it should run a bit faster than the Prime G1's 400 MHz ARM9 processor.
