Please note to stop endless discussion about PPC frequency scaling: To have fair and clean comparison I will use only the top (high clocked) version from each core as representation for top performance.
- A53 - little core used in some low-end smartphones in 8-core config (Snapdragon 450)
- A55 - used as little core in every modern Android SoC
- A72 - "high" end Cortex core used in Snapdragon 625 or Raspberry Pi 4
- A73 - "high" end Cortex core
- A75 - "high" end Cortex core
- Bulldozer - infamous AMD core

It's impressive how fast are evolving the generic Cortex cores:
- A72 (2015) which can be found in most SBC has 1/3 of IPC of new Cortex X1 - They trippled IPC in just 5 years.
- A73 and A75 (2017) which is inside majority of Android smart phones today has 1/2 IPC of new Cortex X1 - They doubled IPC in 3 years.
Comparison how x86 vs. Cortex cores:
- A75 (2017) compared to Zen1 (2017) is loosing massive -34% PPC to x86. As expected.
- A77 (2019) compared to Zen2 (2018) closed the gap and is equal in PPC. Surprising. Cortex cores caught x86 cores.
- X1 (2020) is another +30% IPC over A77. Zen3 need to bring 30% IPC jump to stay on par with X1.
Comparison to Apple cores:
- AMD's Zen2 core is slower than Apple's A9 from 2015.... so AMD is 4 years behind Apple
- Intel's Sunny Cove core in Ice Lake is slower than Apple's A10 from 2016... so Intel is 3 years behind Apple
- Cortex A77 core is slower than Apple's A9 from 2015.... but
- New Cortex X1 core is slower than Apple's A11 from 2017 so ARM LLC is 3 years behind Apple and getting closer
GeekBench5.1 comparison from 6/22/2020:
- added Cortex X1 and A78 performance projections from Andrei here
- 2020 awaiting new Apple A14 Firestorm core and Zen3 core
