Wonderful!
I will be able to make faster phone calls, I will get my emails faster, my text messages will go through quicker and oh yeah web pages will load faster!

Curious to see the 8 Plus vs the X benchmarks. With the same A11/M11 and 3gb of ram but fewer pixels and less tech in face ID to process, my hunch is the 8 Plus may score better and run smoother.
.
Great single core score! Remember this is 6 cores at once though and in this case I think the iPad Pro 10.5" is more impressive due to it getting close to this with half the core count.
On the contrary. iPhone 6-6s-7-8 Plus render more pixels than X and scales it down.

Good to know. Thanks for sharing that. I stand corrected.
24MHz. That has got to be the most instruction efficient CPU ever created. Stand by for some serious overclocking!
On a more serious note...
It does make me wonder what kind of performance Apple could pull off if they made an ARM based Macbook. But man, the outcry if they ditched Intel... it would not be pretty.
Now, what are we actually going to use all that power for? And the neural network part in the 8/8+ which is not being used for face ID? Is it just going to just sit there unused or... <insert conspiracy theory here>

it helps with battery life, if the CPU can go back to idle faster.
From what I can tell from marketing, the Neural Engine will also do tasks such as speech recognition, machine learning, maybe the contextual predictive text of the keyboard - essentially any AI powered task. This is due to the Neural Engine doing it more efficiently and quicker than a CPU or GPU.
