Exactly - The latest A15 benchmarks show the ARM chips being competitive speed-wise (in terms of computation power) to the first Core-2 Duo from 2006. Intel are 6 years ahead. Yeah, the ARM cores have the power advantage generally at the moment, but under load there won't be much difference looking at what Haswell's ULV seems to be promising compared to the A15, and you can bet that the Intel chips will leak at idle much less and will probably have better sleep states.
