With Phones, using a wide CPU design that runs at a lower clock has been Apple's strategy for quite some time. For instance, when power leakage became a huge issue at 20nm, Apple was less affected since they ran their clocks so much lower. >Apple is something of the exception here, with the 20nm A8 proving to be a solid SoC, thanks in part to their wide CPU design allowing them to achieve good performance without using high clockspeeds that would exacerbate the problem. https://www.anandtech.com/show/9686/the-apple-iphone-6s-and-iphone-6s-plus-review/2 https://www.anandtech.com/show/9686/the-apple-iphone-6s-and-...
