For how long? Sustained performance of SOCs in tablets and smartphones is way lower than what measured by benchmarks.

Edit: Furthermore, something looks fishy with the Intel results. Desktop Intel CPUs definitely have a multiprocess score ratios near their physical core counts (increased by 10-30% for HT-capable ones) yet Geekbench only seems to achieve an MP ratio a bit above 2.

Still, if performance is actually comparable (for which I have my doubts) that means we could get ARM laptops which could easily sustain it.
