what am i looking at?
Looks like a FFT benchmark, but the guy who created AutoCAD.
It shows that a modern ARM chip performs like a 15-year old workstation.
Cortex A53 is slow than Pentium 4 in FFT using for signal processing.
>3.29s vs 0.846s
The A53 is the ultra lower power core, typically used as the "little" in big.LITTLE. It's no surprise that it's weak, especially in a cache heavy task like FFT. In fact I'm not even sure if it's an out of order architecture.
Clock for clock it's probably similar to that pentium 4 but it's also probably using like
sounds like it performs well
Honest question, why haven't powerful ARM chips like the Apple ones been released in a laptop form factor.
Imagine the battery life!
It's coming out fairly soon.
The obvious answer is lack of software. iOS/mobile/ARM platforms still lack a vast majority of desktop software that power users want.
Also, I don't know about their latest chips but IIRC the A9 or A10 could turbo up to like 11-12W. For phones it's fine because most people only use their phones for trivial stuff where a short boost would help with little impact on battery life and heat. It's basically the same as Intel's ultra low power Core Y processors, except phones have even less I/O and leaner RAM controllers, etc. that let them achieve lower idle and slightly lower platform power. I suspect there isn't a huge amount of power savings to be made if you put these chips under sustained desktop workloads, noticeable but not massive like people thing, probably.
Seriously? By who?
If it's priced sanely I'll be one of the first to buy and develop for.
