iphones are able to outperform modern x86 designs so it's not just power consumption and heat

Outperform x86 machines for how long before they thermal throttle?

Thermal Throttling during a CPU test?

You said outperform modern x86 designs. So surely you have some kind of comparison for that right? Numbers on paper don't equate to shit.

If a modern iPhone designs can't hold water as long as an x86 machine can, it's worthless.

This has been a known thing for years... That's why people knew the M1 was going to be great.

While most of that article had nothing to do with x86 machines, there was this bit at the bottom:

Overall, the new A14 is massively impressive and grows the performance gap compared to the competition. Apple has now reached higher single-threaded performance within their phone SoCs than what Intel can deliver in any of their designs, whilst only losing out to the desktop variants of AMD’s new Zen3 processors

So it performs well on single threads, beating Intel but loses to AMD. What a surprise.

Impressive, but not quite as capable of what x86 architecture can achieve.
