How powerful are cellular cpu's in comparison to desktop ones?

Forum CPU & Components : CPUs How powerful are cellular cpu's in comparison to desktop ones?

Word :    Username :           
 

So how powerful are the cpu's in modern smartphones? Ones like the Apple A4 @1Ghz, or the ARM Cortex @ 1Ghz. I know they are no match whatsoever for modern cpu's, but what cpu's from the past can they compete with?
