Zombie Moore's Law shows hardware is eating software
This article is based on a faulty premise. The A10 processor is still far away from the performance of recent Intel CPUs (a quick browse of geek bench shows about 2 times the single and 4 times the multi core performance). Apple is very quickly making the gains towards the limits of Moore&#x27;s law not because of a different model of computation but because those gains had not yet been realised for mobile CPUs. As the performance gap is getting smaller, it is likely that the year-on-year improvements in processor performance will also slow down for Apple CPUs. 
Which is not to take away from the achievements of the A10 design team, considering performance per Watt this chip is incredible.
