So an a series desktop could be the equivalent of 19 x a12 socs at the same power consumption.The 8700k has 95 W TDP; the Ax chips are roughly in the 5 W TDP ballpark. They're comparable to Intel's Y-series (née Core M), as used in e.g. the 12-inch MacBook, not this desktop-class S-series.
It seems to me that arm based A series cpu’ s have great potential to overcome x86 based cpu’ s.
