I heard 10 years ago, or whatever, that the ipad 2 had the most power efficient CPU available, period. This was told at a keynote by an HPC scientist who cannot be said to be a «apple journalist». Apple have been doing well for a very long time and I’ve expected this moment since that keynote, basically.

OK, I misspoke. I heard the sentiment from the Apple-focused voices in my information bubble, doesn't mean that nobody else said it. It's just that "nobody believed those Geekbench benchmarks" is not completely true.
