I think the dimension you’re missing is that the a12 also consumes significantly less power. While we don’t know exact numbers, the author speculates it draws about a tenth of the power as the i7.

- zamadatix 6y agoIt's the cache that makes this fast, not the higher clock higher voltage cores on an older process. Not that x86 particularly in 2018 is the pinnacle of perf per watt but the power dimension is non linear on some of these variables and this particular benchmark doesn't happen to gain much from it.
