Breaking News:

AH points out that a low cost development platform is slower than a 
computer that costs 4 times as much.

AH has failed to show any performance claims for the transition kits 
that this data refutes.

AH ignores the fact that the A12z used in the transition kit is 2 years 
old and not the A14 that will be in Apple Silicon based Macs..

AH neglects to point out the slower results were obtained using x86 
tests translated to run on ARM; not native ARM code.

So, while he does post some 'facts', he makes no valid point.

The linked article uses "supposedly", "rumors ", and "If true,". It also 
indicates "Future Apple ARM processors are supposed to be souped-up 
versions of the A12Z, allegedly 12-cores with eight 
performance-dedicated cores". Given that, I fail to see how this article 
can provide a meaningful view of what to expect for the product to be 
released at the end of the year.
