You clearly haven't really kept up with Apple and ARM for the past 4 years have you. They're cleaning everyone's clock (pun unintended) with no signs of that abating.

Last years X is still a generation faster than the fastest Qualcomm/Samsung chip today let alone what generic designs ARM licenses to the cheaper chip companies.

Oh that's why I get all of the downvotes, finally I understand it.

But you haven't really kept up with Apple and ARM for the past 4 weeks have you? Performance of the A12 is up something like 15% up - which is still impressive if you compare it to what Intel does on a yearly basis - but a lot less than it used to be for Apple SoC's.

In the mean while the latest Qualcomm SoC's (845 is like 35% faster than 835) are performing almost as well as the A11, while the performance gap used to be more than two years.

If Qualcomm manages to get another 35% increase next year their SoC will be faster at least until the A13.

So: - Qualcomm is catching up - While single core and multicore did not improve as much as it used to YoY for Apple

Also, none of the benchmarks in the article have anything to do with the CPU.
