I’ve more than a little skeptical of these results, I too am very disappointed in major CPU vendors (especially their PR and management teams), but these results seem more than a little smelly.

I am what I’d consider a heavy iOS user on multiple devices and I don’t believe I’ve honestly noticed any difference at all. If these results were correct, I believe I’d notice at least a 10-15% decrease in performance - but no. What I haven’t looked at is battery life so I cannot comment on that.
