Anandtech’s analysis revealed it to be an extremely wide design, very Apple-esque custom cores. Obviously it’s more complicated in real world, but anandtech’s further testing revealed that the chip itself is speedy when the DVFS is fixed.
Maybe? Until you test it you don't really *know* - it may be limited by something else, or something about the workload/core means it can't take advantage of the wide decode particularly well.
