Yes, Safari seems to beat everybody, and Apple's mobile processors excel at single-thread performance.

However, Edge doesn't appear to have an advantage - the graph shows chrome on a Thinkpad T430 beating Edge on the same hardware.

Also, it shows the Nexus 5X (Qualcomm 808 processor) beating the Pixel XL (Qualcomm 821 processor).

Is this accurate? Seems fishy, but I haven't run any benchmarks.

given Android's execution model (closer to a desktop OS, with many things running in userspace, constant context switching) compared to iOS's "one thing running at a time" model (closer to a game console OS), my guess is that Android benchmarks are less reliable.

Not that it discounts the massive advantage to apple on perf.
