As I have already mentioned in another comment, Cortex-A35 is not the replacement for Cortex-A7, but for the smaller and slower Cortex-A5. Because of that, Cortex-A35 is slower at the same clock frequency than Cortex-A7.

The successor of Cortex-A7 was Cortex-A53, which was followed by Cortex-A55, then by Cortex-A510, and so on, until the current Arm C1-Nano.

The line of Cortex-A5 and Cortex-A35, which includes Cortex-A32 and Cortex-A34, can be considered dead, because using so slow CPUs instead of the best Cortex-M or Cortex-R cores (like Cortex-M85 and Cortex-R82) does not make sense.
