Nobody's drawing conclusions here. All I'm saying is that it isn't crazy to think that an A14 part will be competitive with Intel's lineup, especially from a core performance perspective.

Power limits and memory hierarchy both benefit the 9900k heavily in this comparison, which is why I went with the single-core score. I'd be surprised if an iPhone 11 Pro Max will floor all its cores even for a short microbenchmark. A desktop/laptop A14 will likely look much more competitive in these respects.

But then you're leaving out the actual interesting scenarios for the question of Apple ARM performance in laptops/desktops.

We've already known for a while that the A1x family is an IPC beast.

But it's sustained power and memory subsystem performance that are the hard part in scaling up.
