Poor on its own:

Turns out that ended up being the best implementation on 20nm! It seems that licensees did not need more experience with the ip, just a new node.

Anandtech said:I still think the A57 is a tad too power hungry in this device, but as long as thermal management is able keep the phone's temperatures in reign, which it seems that it does, there's no real disadvantage to running them at such high clocks. The question is whether efficiency is where it should be. ARM promises that we'll be seeing much improved numbers in the future as licensees get more experience with the IP, something which we're looking forward to test.
