SMT Solving on an iPhone
a. single threaded code<p>b. extended benchmark duration - no thermal throttling encountered<p>c. straight forward C compiler - no special code for the GPU unit or whatever<p>d. main reason is probably memory and cache configuration<p>I think it is time to consider A(RM) and Intel cores at par. Qualcomm cores maybe X% slower but they will close the gap.<p>It is now a question of system trade-offs, as designers jangle memory sizes, cache sizes, cores, cooling, vector extensions, etc<p>This is a really pivotal event.<p>And dont forget AMD challenging Intel on like-for-like cores.<p>Its pretty amazing that noone has put together a real ARM alternative for the server side.
