That's a quad-core desktop Core i7 with 4 cores and 8 threads, and clocked much higher than the Apple A10X.

- onli 9y agoIt's still old. There was the 4770, 4790, 6700 and now the 7700 after it. Each version was only a bit better than its predecessor, but 4 times a small bump results in a big bump. It is not slow, but it is not as fast as a modern machine. Maybe impressive, but not parity.
- hvidgaard 9y agothe i7-7700 is around 20-25% faster. An ultra low power chip only 20-25% behind current high power desktop chips is quite impressive.
- onli 9y agoNot in geekbench though, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14505189 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14505189. That's 20k multi thread score vs 9k. That benchmark might be a bit flawed.
- hvidgaard 9y agoSomething does not add up here. Taking that benchmark and compare it to the other, we get http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/compare/231758?baseline=3039096 http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/compare/231758?baseline=... The i7-7700K is not twice as fast.
