I'm not really impressed by this article. I don't see much of a performance improvements in desktop CPUs, so I don't expect them in mobile CPUs as well. They were catching desktop CPUs until recently, but now they are playing on even field, so I doubt that it would be 25% in single-thread. Sure, they could drop more cores, but that's it and only for specific workloads. Also I'm not even sure that I need that performance in my phone, I don't play games or run Idea there. Battery life speculations are very unconvincing as well. CPU is only part of battery drain, another parts are display and, most importantly, radio chips. So if my CPU eats 10% of my battery, those 25% improvements will be 2.5% which is not that impressive. They have terrible batter anyway, I have no idea how they managed to make a phone which turns off at -30C. How am I supposed to use it at winter?
