Multi core: We should see a significant improvement next year with N3E.

Intel R&D is now only about 4.3x AMD, and AMD is fabless. Just 3 years ago Intel budget was almost 10x. The difference isn't that big anymore and it's only getting smaller. https://ycharts.com/companies/AMD/r_and_d_expense https://ycharts.com/companies/INTC/r_and_d_expense

? M1 is at 15W. M1 Pro/Max at 30W and the score will be much higher than 10k (5980HS). Also Cinebench is just one benchmark.

GFXbench OffScreen?

New bench results (even better!)

A8X scores 2400ms (less than Core i3Y) with iOS 9.1 beta. Useless benchmark.

I'm getting 2416.2ms +/- 2.1% A8X, iOS 9 PB3. Meaningless bench.
