All of the claims of ARM vs x86 performance are based on Geekbench and Javascript benchmarks. This seems woefully thin data to make real comparisons, especially against platforms with active cooling.<p>1. How does an A9x fare with long endurance workloads? Bursty benchmarks are one thing, but what&#x27;s performance like after 30 minutes of active use? None of the A9x benchmarks do any kind of battery rundown throttle tests.<p>2. How does A9x fare with large workloads? Loading up small streaming kernels into the CPU is one thing, but what about workloads that lean more heavily on the cache, memory architecture, and branch prediction units?
