RE: Slightly slower per core than the i5

But who runs per core? Modern apps are multi-threaded. The shift from power consuming max clock rate to efficient multi-core designs began nearly 20 years ago, not with Intel but with SPARC, ARM, and others. The SPARC T1 had 8-cores and could execute 32-threads. This was back in 2005. Intel didn't see the shift and they're still behind ARM, Apple, AMD. That's why we don't see millions of Intel processors in mobile devices. They missed that boat big time!

Unfortunately, many mainstream apps still rely on high single core speeds.

Handbrake always maxed out all eight cores on the old Win7 box when converting ripped Blu Ray disks to MP4 for the server.
