Intel Corp (INTC)

[mas]

Looks like ARM have brought A57 integer performance/clock (at least as measured by Geekbench3) up to about 2/3 of the very latest Core which is not bad at all. Of course Core ultimately will clock twice as high meaning the performance difference between the high ends is about 3 to 1. On floating point A57 looks about half the performance/clock.

Also they got all 8 cores working in that big.little chip as multi-core scaling seems consistently just better than 4 which shows the 4 little cores are contributing to achieve this. So what does this all mean then competition wise going forward. Probably Intel will have to use higher bins than otherwise it would have wanted/expected to maintain the expected performance differential between Core and the 64-bit ARMy.
