Pretty epic results from A8X.

what are the clock freq ranges on these parts?
Intel part goes to 2GHz, Apple goes to 1.5GHz.
thanks, and how comparable is geekbench cross os and cross isa?

I've seen Intel parts do about the same on Windows as they do on Android.
What is an IPad 5.4? Why don't we have Sunspider or Kraken results? I haven't heard much positive about Geekbench recently. I'd rather like to see Cinebench scores.
And there's a reason for that - http://www.primatelabs.com/blog/2013/12/developing-a-cross-platform-benchmark/
The problem with that approach being that it only applies to x86. (Not to mention, they're basically admitting to re-coding their algorithms to avoid compiler optimizations on x86.) What happens for all of the ARM crowd though? Because there basically aren't any alternate OS options there to use for comparison - would be interesting to know if they even attempt to do the same level of leveling the playing field with respect to compiler optimizations or not.

Wake me when we have cross platform benchmarking that isn't terrible.
Because it has 3 cores.Any idea why the A8X is listed as 3 cores?

I suspect that this third core is for the rumoured split screen multitasking on iPad. Running two apps at the same time would definitely need another core.Enhanced Cyclone in A8X is quite good but probably not quite a match for the performance of Core M in most scenarios. The Core M variant tested above exceeds A8X in single-core performance and nearly matches A8X in multi-core performance while having one fewer CPU core (and most mobile apps will probably not make good use of anything more than two CPU cores in the first place).
What would be even more interesting to see would be performance and power consumed by each respective CPU with a given CPU-intensive application.
Does anyone know if there is a 64-bit version of Geekbench 3 for Windows x86 machines, and if so, what type of performance improvements are expected vs. the 32-bit version?
The Core M results from Asus TF300A are using the 32-bit "Geekbench 3.1.2 Tryout for Windows x86 (32-bit)": http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/922000
The A8X results from iPad Air 2 are using the 64-bit "Geekbench 3.2.2 for iOS AArch64": http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/1061742

Cross OS comparisons are pretty much useless for evaluating hardware, unfortunately. I say this in spite of what you've stated earlier in this thread. Both processors are very impressive, though.http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/compare/922000?baseline=1061742

Well that's silly.Not to mention, this appears to state that in some cases they're re-coding algorithms to avoid compiler optimizations while in others they're working around compiler shortcomings
