@marco_org makes me wonder if they've kept the power dialled down to gain more battery life.
The party might be ending for mobile CPU advancements http://www.marco.org/2014/09/22/iphone-geekbench-history …

@marco_org Why should they really advance the CPU performance when there's no app that can really take advantage of it? But I see you point.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@marco_org Perhaps the chip team had to spend all their time mapping the A7 from Samsung 28nm to TSMC 20nm, similar to 3GS->A4 transitionThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@marco_org@marcoarment Nah, the party is far from over. Don’t worry. This looked like a process-shrink to 20nm, similar to Intel’s Ticks.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@marco_org@marcoarment Just look at Nvidia’s new GTX 900 series. Same fab (28nm) but greatly reduced power and increased performance.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@marco_org@marcoarment And I think we’ll see more effort put into mobile GPUs as time goes on. CPUs are less important at big screen sizes.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@marco_org Or it may just be Apple moving to a tick-rock cadence similar to Intel, and this was just a tick. cc@marcoarment -
@marco_org@marcoarment *tock. Anandtech’s hardware review should shed more light on this

@bhrnd I was thinking the same thing as well. However after looking at the GB benchmark, iPads and iPhone with the same CPU score similarly.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
