So with a clever docking system.....probably good enough for all my computing needs.......if not now......certainly next year with iPhone 7.........my old tower need last just one more year and then it's goodbye Windows

Too bad they aren't directly comparable.

Geekbench runs vastly different dataset sizes on mobile vs desktop:

The desktop version runs 3 to 8 times bigger datasets than the mobile

exaggerates ARM performance and minimizes x86 performance.

Once I believed Geekbench developers were simply ignorant amateurs.
Now I am starting to think they have a deliberate agenda.
