They have made good job here measuring power consumption of the latest smartphones in Kraken test, but why did not they include a picture of integral fuction of the latest graph you have in this page?

I mean if you calculate the area below the graph lines – which is mathematical integral function — you can get the answer how much effective Atom and A6 are in power consumption. There is no need for wordy estimations then.

Considering how sharp A6 dynamic range is while doing Kraken test, it is very well possible that is more effective than Atom or anything else.

And the reason why Apple is so aggressive in halting unused transistors is that they use unique patented methods, developed by Palo-Alto semiconductor – P.A.Semi – which Apple bought in 2008. As your other graphs showed, none of competitors, including Intel, NVidia, Qualcomm, are able to be even remotely close to the sharpness of Apple’s peaks and its dynamic range.

P.A.Semi’s idea was that they could divide a core into tens of thousands (!) blocks of transistors (they called such blocks “grains”), each of which could have independent both voltage and frequency control. This is something that no else get ever close to.

In iPhone 5 web pages and books are significantly bigger in landscape view comparing to previous iPhones.
