They compared against really old intel CPUs because those were the last ones they used in their own computers! Apple likes to compare device to device, not component to component.

It's funny because your comment is meant to mislead and obscure facts.

Apple's the ONLY tech company that doesn't compare products to their competitors.

No, they compared it because it made them look way better for naive people. They have no qualms comparing to other competition when it suits them.

You're explanation is a really baffling case of corporate white knighting.
