SpecInt/FP is comparing Single core IPC between one A12 BIG core, and one Skylake server CPU core.

Per-core power consumption on that Intel chip is 165W/28cores = 5.89W

Apple is pushing similar IPC at 3W instead of 5.89W. In that context, it's not so unbelievable, and it's still really fucking impressive.

Yeah, I know, I wrote about it in my original comment, you didn't have to tell me that twice :)

And that's my point, Apple already has very impressive thing going on, no need to smudge it with sensationalists statements.
