This article has some issues. The author states that apple's best ARM chip is comparable to one in a "top of the line" imac. This is utterly false.

They also state that the A13 trounces every other ARM chip by 2x yet uses a chart that doesn't include the Qualcomm 865 which is in current flagship android phones.

It doesn't really hurt the main point of the article but the logical appeal falls flat when you don't seem to really understand what you are discussing at a technical level.

A13 still comes out a fair bit ahead in performance, but not in energy usage.

Qualcomm 865 doesn't make that much difference. Not to mention the 865 wasn't out when those benchmark were done.
