They are 2 years behind Apple and slowly catching up.
When Medfield came out, Apple didn't have it's own chip and x86 still lost. It was an entire 1.5 nodes smaller and only a bit faster than the A9 chips of the time (and only in single-core benches). The A15 released not too long after absolutely trounced it.
- foldr 7y ago>When Medfield came out, Apple didn't have it's own chip >It was an entire 1.5 nodes smaller and only a bit faster than the A9 chips of the time You seem to have the chronology all mixed up here. Medfield came out in 2012. The A9 came out in 2015. Apple was already designing its own chips in 2012. (The A4 came out in 2010.)
