If you're talking about Coffee Lake...not really. The biggest difference is that they will have a 15W quad core SKU, whereas that used to be a dual core. The base speed is going to take a hit though. Single core score won't be better.
The process "tick" at Cannonlake, down to 10 nm, might have some significant gains down at the lower power end. We won't see those until some time in 2018 though.
No way. The Apple chips are only comparable to the Intel 5W fanless variety in the MacBook.
The base CPU in the 13" MBP depending on nonTB(15W) or TB(28W) still stomps all over the Apple A series handily. You're comparing a BB gun to a howitzer. Geekbench is not a good cross architecture comparison tool.
Look at the Core M-5Y71, a 5W CPU in the Asus T300, in the SPECint_base2006 benchmark. It beats the A9X in every category.

The i7-6700K is in an entirely different universe.

Give the android devs a break, Google has to give a nod to the preferred foods its work force of metabolic endomorphs consume as they toil away their lives in darkness.
iOS devs are maintained by a steady stream of 2nd hand flatulence pumped directly to their cubicles from the executive offices by a network of microscopically-sealed ducts. It's rumored that the new spaceship building has concentrators so these rare gasses can be recycled and reused as needed to keep up morale and vigor.
I think there are VERY real reasons to be concerned. Nobody knows when that camera comes on, what it records, who has access to the data, etc. We already know what the CIA and NSA are capable of. This, along with Amazon Alexa, are a dream come true for spying and God only knows what else.
It can have the same power as a super computer from MIT, but as long as it’s iOS, one can still only do so much on it.
- Please show me Xcode running on an iPhone.
- Show me Excel for iOS running a VBA script.
- Show me Microsoft Access on iOS.
- Show me taking a file from an ordinary USB flash drive, uploading to an iPhone, then copying that file to a network drive
- Show me your file browser in iOS 10 or below
That's just a few off the top of my head. I'm sure many people could add to the list of work that an iPhone either can't do, or is nearly worthless at. You obviously don't use Excel at all, or at least not to any level that I do, because I refuse to even open a spreadsheet on my iPhone, let alone try to actually get any work done in one.

Like they used to?
All flagship iPads since at least iPad 3 has used the X chip (with the exception of iPad Air 1 which used the same A7 as the 5s) that is faster than the previous generation iPhone but slower than the next generation.
The Bionic Man, Lee Majors, is still alive from the 1970s TV show. He's coming for you TimMAY! THIEF!
And no wonder Disney/ABC won't sign onto $20 4k movies!
PS: Millennials, X, Y, & Z generations, skip over this. Nothing here. LOL

Gotta love the good jokes. Mac switching to ARM would be the day it officially dies. No more ports from Windows all the while having an overall slower performance. Good thing their engineers aren't as easily fooled by misleading synthetic benchmarks such as Geek Bench like the average joes in here. Mac + ARM = Windows phone. Weak 3rd party support.
Animoji is basically the tech demo-ware for the underlying stuff. The cool stuff always comes from 3rd party apps.
Hardware wise, maybe, but software is the hard part. macOS can't just switch to using ARM architecture because all of the apps would need to be rewritten and / or recompiled, which would take many years. Microsoft tried to do it. Just look at how few popular Windows apps are able to run on ARM Windows tablets after all these years.
You can’t blame Apple for excel, blame Microsoft for not putting all the features into the mobile app. Same as most other apps that people complain about. Also lol at saying something they’re fixing with the latest software.

Oh, this Gen Xer gets it.
Also kicks the MacBooks butt with emoji!

The point is , it's not a laptop and a closed OS.

And completely unnecessary. It's a phone for goodness sake! What kind of hardcore tasks will you do on your phone anyways? It's perfect for bragging rights, but it's usefulness in the real world is debatable.
Yup. Just because you are a tech gadget enthusiast consumer doesn't necessarily mean you know the market...
Praying that Apple puts a touchscreen on a Mac running MacOS is another one of those "good jokes". Shoehorn touch capabilities into an UI that's rooted in keyboard/mouse/trackpad-centric input would be a disaster for Apple. Look at Microsoft's touch-based apps ecosystem and you'll ge the idea. Apple already has a touch OS champion, it's called iOS. Apple will work on adding more "pro" features to it and that makes more sense than have two touch-enabled OS' that will simply confuse everyone, including developers, which would slow down adoption and support -- a nightmare.

Is this real life?
Like, right now I'm assuming its a joke. Please tell me that's a joke.

But the iPads got the chips first.
Apple said it themselves. They are going where the puck will be, not where it's been. Just because you can't see a use for all that power, it doesn't mean others can't.
Read what I was responding to please. He asked for a list of tasks an iPhone can't do, work related. That Microsoft gimped it is hardly the point. Anyone that claims they get "work done" in Excel on an iPhone is either a blatant liar or they're basically using it to make grocery lists.
