You wrote that it was for a single provider and then say now let's add this to the comparison. If Zen 2 isn't available on AWS then it's pointless. Or I could add some Fujitsu A64FX to the mix and laugh at the poor FP performance of x86 AVX-512 units.
Yes but Axx performance doesn't only increase thanks to node shrinks.
OMG a 15W chip is faster. All hell's breaking loose.
So having a superior cache subsystem is not a property of A13? Ridiculous.
It didn't occur to you most of that power (how did you measure it BTW?) might be going to the GPU?
x86 doesn't accelerate NEON. Breaking news.
You like GB5 and you don't know how to make a proper comparison? I will help you:

If you think Apple can magically use HW accelerators for C++ code (Geekbench is C++ you know that, right?), then they will destroy the competition (hint: that's not happening).
37% faster is a small win?
BTW the clang test goes until assembly code generation.
I'll stop here, the rest of your post is about some magic Apple can do at accelerating C++ code with HW accelerators. That's not true and if it was true then they'd be years ahead of the competition and we could conclude x86 is dead (which is not the case).
Yeah sure you typed your whole message in a few minutes.
