Little surprised by the A8 only being 25% faster. On the one hand, Apple has been doubling performance each year so people probably expected them to double it again this year. On the other hand, even the A7 is still faster on 99% of Apps than anything else out there so Apple might have decided to wait for the A9 before making another huge jump in architecture/performance.
Or they could have spent their resources on the new S1 SoC for their Watch and scaled back.
Still wondering why the A8 has 2 billion transistors while the A7 only had 1 billion. What are they using the extras for?
