Here's the whitepaper

Yes, it's a Raspberry Pi 3.

No, it's not comparable to an iPhone 6s.

An iPhone 6s is about 5 times faster.

A Raspberry Pi 3 is about equivalent to a Samsung Galaxy S III (a five year old phone.)

You're totally right. Those geekbench scores are quite different! Scrolling and tabs with different information were still very fast on my iPod Touch (this was 5 years ago), and I could always tap on images like logos and they would work. But I don't have any 5 year old devices to try the range slider, so that could very possibly be another thing (in addition to the virtual keyboard) where QML totally outperformed HTML5

You were probably not using js heavy sites on your iPod touch 5 years ago.
