Samsung most likely do, but so far their own SoC designs are all bog-standard ARM cores probably which means a combination avoiding IP infringement lawsuits or lack of expertise to capitalize on that knowledge.
How could they not know when they fabbed it?

All I saw in that review was a bunch of javascript tests that everyone knows are terrible for comparing hardware performance. A real cpu test would paint a very different picture but of course we can't have anything that would make apple look bad.
A6 sucked when compared to Krait using valid tests, the same will likely be true for A7.
Multithreaded Linpack scores:Most sites run java benchmarks because they either genuinely don't understand the importance of native code for low level tests like linpack etc or they are trying to paint a skewed perspective of Android devices performance. Javascript benchmarks are even worse since it's well known that everyone optimizes for the popular ones.
When I buy a phone I want to know exactly how all of my options stack up on performance. Since 8/10 new phones run Android most of the competition will be between them but I don't think that gives apple a free pass to not be judged the same way. After all they are a SOC maker now, you would think people would want to know how good they are at it.
And we still have no Droid Maxx, not even the Note 2 show up in these charts...
They're bragging about 64 bit. A feature in phones that will have at most 2gb of RAM in the near future.
Amazing feature there.
And the 5C is 150-200? Weren't we just complaining about how the Moto X is so damn overpriced?

Explain this to me.
I believe that is a HTC One, S4, iPhone 5 and some Lumia.
Technically, everything since the A4 has been an Apple-designed chip, but it wasn't until the A6 that they started using their own custom-designed ARM cores. I'm surprised that they haven't bought up Imagination Technologies yet so they have the GPU all to themselves as well.

Where is this source?
Multithreaded Linpack scores:
iPhone 5S (AT&T) - 1634.4
HTC One (Sprint) - 648.7
Galaxy S4 (Sprint) - 636.5
iPhone 5C (AT&T) - 583.9
Moto X (AT&T) - 293.8
Yes, the iPhone 5S is more than twice as fast as the nearest competitor in that list, and almost three times the speed of the 5C. I assume this is Java. Doesn't say there.
I suspect the real reason they use these tests is because they're easy to run. It's not their fault the Java implementation on XYZ OS is not as well optimized.
Which model (color/memory size) do you guys think will be the most popular? I am thinking of using my upgrade @AT&T to make some profit by resale.

It turns out that bench may be misleading. It's natively coded on the A7, but uses Java on Android. Nonetheless, it's still decent, even after factoring that in. A7 is a leader, not a me-too part.I'm floored at how Apples dual core A7 laid waste to Snapdragon 800 and pretty much every other SoC out there. I expected a bump, 20 or 30% maybe, but this is ridiculous. They just made every other SoC vendor look like idiots, even Intel's tablet Bay Trail Processor looks obsolete and by association Windows with it.
I had about decided I prefer Android, and keep eyeing the Moto X, but this technology gap has me thinking again. This leap is going to be hard for their competition to match very quickly.
And of course, the new iPad has to be around the corner. A6 mini, A7X iPad?

I haven't seen linpack numbers for Snapdragon 800 but given its substantial clock speed advantage vs S4 Pro and Snapdragon 600 it should clearly beat A7 from a performance standpoint.
