goldmont plus seems to be well above a73 performance range. shame they dont have a soc to go against snapdragon 845.

Goldmont Plus is another good step for Atom, but the CPU is still behind A75 and in terms of the full SoC for smartphone use, Gemini Lake is primitive compared to Snapdragon 845 (or even 835 for that matter).
If Intel wants to go into phones again, they'd need a much better uncore to have a viable product.
Its funny and tragic that Intel has done no major briefings to the press or released performance information given that Gemini Lake with Goldmont Plus cores is such a big improvement over the earlier Apollo Lake generation with Goldmont cores. Its really unexplicable how Intel focusses so much of its marketing / PR on the big cores family like KBL/CFL which have the same core and IPC as SKL but does not bother to do any real detailed technical / performance disclosures for such a big improvement with the small core family.
SD845 thrashes Gemini Lake in all areas - ST,MT and GPU even when running at lower TDP.

Problem is not only that 4-wide Gemini Lake is crushed by 3-wide Cortex A75 but already by 2-wide Cortex A73. Your links above refer to the Pentium N5000, which has a turbo of 2.7 GHz while most smartphone Snapdragons 835 do not run faster than 2.4GHz.
Now keep in mind that ARM will reveal Cortex A75 successor in 2018, where ARM is expecting another 20% performance boost - possibly by also going 4-wide.
The difference between Android and Windows is about 10% on N4200. So SD845 would stll have the lead if that difference is similar on N5000.This is another Windows vs Android comparison which is flawed for Geekbench in favour to Android. And Geekbench is a well known best case bench for Android.
$161 ? Are we going to see MB with N5000 soldered in for less then $100?

The CPU part of the Gemini Lake Celeron is ~40% faster than the Apollo Lake Pentium! It's also interesting that power consumption does not appear to have increased, at least on the system level. From what I can gather this is slightly better than the venerable old Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ stock. Given that they both run at basically the same frequencies, it seems Goldmont Plus has slightly better IPC than Conroe/Kentsfield.
The Cinebench results mostly point towards a 40-50% IPC increase, which is almost strangely high... I'm going to temper my expectations and prepare for not all tests showing the same gigantic increases. Going by the one available Passmark result, single thread performance is up 30% from my own Passmark result of my J4205. Pretty good, but indicates an IPC increase of ~20%, which "feels" more realistic.
