#LeakPeek: OnePlus 8 Pro beats Samsung's S20 Ultra on Geekbench
What's the story
The upcoming OnePlus 8 Pro looks primed to beat Samsung's top-of-the-line S20 Ultra as the fastest Android phone ever. A screenshot posted on SlashLeaks has revealed the Geekbench scores of the OnePlus flagship, indicating better single-core and multi-core scores than S20 Ultra. Interestingly, both the handsets tout the same Snapdragon 865 chipset and 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM.
Details
First, a bit about Geekbench and its scores
Geekbench is a cross-platform processor benchmark platform which grades processors on their single-core and multi-core performances. While calculating multi-core scores, Geekbench runs multiple streams of instructions simultaneously per core and reports an aggregate score. With single-core scores, the same process is applied but on a single core. The quicker a CPU completes the instructions, the higher is its Geekbench score.
Performance
Let us take a look at the scores
As per the leaked results, an upcoming OnePlus smartphone (presumably the top-end OnePlus 8 Pro) has 906 points in single-core tests and 3,398 in multi-core tests. In comparison, the S20 Ultra trails with 805 and 3,076 points in the single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. The difference in scores could be attributed to certain hardware optimizations on the OnePlus flagship.
Design and display
What do we know about the OnePlus 8 Pro?
