Intel Corp (INTC)

A8X gets 1800 in ST and 4500 in MT. The Core M chip that goes in $1100+ devices, the 5Y71, gets 2450 in ST and 4200 in MT. The more fairly priced 5Y10 gets 2050 in ST and 4100 in MT.

When will you learn?

1. Geekbench doesn't mean a damn, and unfairly advantaged for ARM architecture based on AES/SHA acceleration
2. Apple doesn't run Windows, so A8X performance doesn't mean a damn, unless you are comparing an iPad Air 2 against an equivalent tablet
3. When Intel needs to add another core or two to Core M to win in performance, they will, and wipe the floor in MT. In the meantime, Core M is a smaller die and even less expensive to make than A8X.
4. "More fairly priced" is your strawman. They are already fairly priced, because they sell at those prices. If there were already an alternative threatening to be a better Windows platform, then the pricing and sku definition would already be different.
