> Even low-voltage iPhone XS CPU has the same single core performance as top-notch Intel processors for workstations...

yeah right, if that was the case I'd rig up a compile farm with iphones

I have a proof for you. Please check the single core performance here:

iPhone XS: 4794 scores https://browser.geekbench.com/ios_devices/56

The newest Xeon E-2176M: 4900 scores https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/2500

the difference is only 2%...

I never did the test by myself, I just watched now a couple of yt videos. It looks like the test duration is a couple of seconds. To be fast a couple of seconds is not the same as to be fast for a long time. And there are other much faster single core cpus on geekbench. Of course, todays cellphone cpus are "little wonders" but the are (of course) not the same as a desktop cpu.
That's a low power laptop cpu, not a workstation cpu.
Actually, this CPU is in 15 fastest single core CPUs ever, including all desktop processors: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html
Benchmark for a CPU that is not even released yet and is planned for Q4 2018...
It is Q4 2018 already, and it releases next week
