Yes this is correct. But as you see the original un-optimized version was running at nearly same speed on both. Meaning the A15 and Core i3 performance are comparable, if run at the same clock. The general perception has been that the raw performance of the ARM CPUs(like A15 and A57) and Intel Sandybridge CPUs like the one inside like i3/i5 are not in the same ball-park . Most people believes they are leagues apart. Also one of the reasons why such comparisons havent been made before, much.The idea of the blog is to show that this is not completely true.
