Geekbench 5, 64bit (Single-Core)

Geekbench 5 is a cross plattform benchmark that heavily uses the systems memory. A fast memory will push the result a lot. The single-core test only uses one CPU core, the amount of cores or hyperthreading ability doesn't count.


	Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 4x 1.60 GHz (2.15 GHz)	297 (44%)
	HiSilicon Kirin 980 8x 1.80 GHz (1.90 GHz)	681 (100%)

Geekbench 5, 64bit (Multi-Core)

Geekbench 5 is a cross plattform benchmark that heavily uses the systems memory. A fast memory will push the result a lot. The multi-core test involves all CPU cores and taks a big advantage of hyperthreading.


	Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 4x 1.60 GHz (2.15 GHz)	773 (33%)
	HiSilicon Kirin 980 8x 1.80 GHz (1.90 GHz)	2378 (100%)

iGPU - FP32 Performance (Single-precision GFLOPS)

The theoretical computing performance of the internal graphics unit of the processor with simple accuracy (32 bit) in GFLOPS. GFLOPS indicates how many billion floating point operations the iGPU can perform per second.


	Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Qualcomm Adreno 530 @ 0.62 GHz	476 (92%)
	HiSilicon Kirin 980 ARM Mali-G76 MP10 @ 0.72 GHz	520 (100%)
