A $1k ARM platform beating a $300 x86 platform isn't interesting though. If things are close in price the difference isn't material but 3x the cost means comparing performance is almost meaningless, except to say "at least its better than".

Also beating at what exactly? If I loaded a page on the iPad Pro will I notice it being substantially quicker and interactive than if I did it on the x86? Synthetic benchmarks claiming this is faster than that are just that - they are used as a marketing tool not as anything that bears any relation to reality.
