>Geekbench, which is a highly questionable benchmark that also has extreme OS dependencies (compare results for the same CPU on Windows & Linux, for example) OS and compiler dependencies, really. On the other hand, comparing macOS and iOS results may well be more meaningful (they use the same compiler and much of the OS is shared, especially at layers likely to significantly affect performance). Geekbench (v4 especially) is definitely flawed, but the results in this case don't seem out-of-line with what we see on specINT for example. e.g., https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/compare/15541405?baseline=15386177 https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/compare/15541405?baseli... comparing shows an A12X roughly matching a Sunny Cove 1060NG7 on single-thread performance (and it mostly follows where I'd expect Intel's strengths to be, with a wider vector unit and specialized instructions); in multi-thread performance the A12X unsurprisingly wins, but it also has double the number cores (okay, four of them are little, but that's still providing extra capacity to get work done).
