4.1k vs. 4.8k
The A11 is running at 2.4Ghz. The i7 in the single-thread test at 3.1Ghz (actually up to 4.1Ghz). Cycle for cycle the A11 is faster than the fattest Intel chip.
Which is insane. I am no Apple booster, but this is quite an incredible switch up. With a fatter TDP budget (the A11 has a TDP of something like 5W, the i7-7920HQ a TDP of 45W) they could not only increase the clock ceiling, they could start copy-pasting the big core.
A few years back people were talking about Apple starting to move their chip designs to their laptops and desktops. It sounded insane. Now it's actually entirely possible if they can get their software stacks and targeting all working.
