Bold claim. On one hand, they might be including mobile phones as a "portable personal computer", which I suppose it is. On the other hand, my 12-core Xeon Wintendo has a carrying handle.

Apple claims the new iPad Pro is faster than just about all laptops on the market #appleevent

The SPEC performance of Apple's ARM chips is pretty astonishing compared to low-mid Intel

So cache-hot integer workload? Meh.

pick your benchmark, really. e.g. last-gen iPad Pro: browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpuโ€ฆ i5 Surface Laptop: browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpuโ€ฆ

Replying to @directhex @rjek
that looks like pretty much the same single core performance, and less than 150% performance on multicore for 150% of the cores. (threads are basically worthless for benchmarking because they eat into each others' performance in such monotonic workloads)
