Hopefully the A8's a big improvement or else it begs the question: "Why bother?"

NOKIA though will be in the advantageous position of being able to design in the best available. It's just a question of their agenda.
Huh? Apple have already released the A8. It's in the iPhone 6. Apple claims it's 25% faster than the A7 and 50% faster at graphics.

They've also released the A8X. 40% faster than the A7 and 2.5 times quicker at graphics. It's in the iPad Air 2.

Running the antutu bench you quoted, it beats all those in the graph you used and only the snapdragon 810 beats it. The problem there is the 810 runs so hot that it has to be throttled back drastically to the point where the older 801 beats it in normal use. For example, the older Sony Z3 is beating the new 810 equipped Z3+/Z4.
