The scariest part of this is those Spec2006 scores.

A13 has single core performance on par with a 9900k or 3900X.

Apple is probably going to release ARM macs next year.

A quick read on Specspeed gives no indication that it accounts for power consumption. Does that mean you could make a 65W A13 part and completely murder everything?

Benchmarks aren't everything. Nvidia's Denver absolutely crushed everyone in benchmarks at the time. Real world performance was actually pretty bad.

iPhone X JS performance is better than latest MBP or around the same

would be cool if you could plug an iPhone into a dock and be able to use Mac OS from it... keyboard, mouse, full display.

This is 100% what you can do today with a Galaxy S9/S10, https://www.linuxondex.com, plug in your phone to a USB-C dock and get a full ARM64 Ubuntu environment

Canonical (ubuntu) tried this.. it didn't get far for some reason. I wish it did.

Canonical didn't have the resources. Neither did Motorola.

But Samsung is doing this now with some moderate success.

This has been tried with other phones several times. An idea without a market - no one wants to plug in their phone to get a desktop computer.

what’s the benefit over having a separate laptop with its own mouse keyboard and display?

the drawbacks are large - you lose ergonomic touchscreen access to your phone.
