Chart from the next page is very telling: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/14892/spec2006-a13.png

Summarized by this paragraph in the article:

> Last year I’ve noted that the A12 was margins off the best desktop CPU cores. This year, the A13 has essentially matched best that AMD and Intel have to offer – in SPECint2006 at least. In SPECfp2006 the A13 is still roughly 15% behind.
