Sony Xperia 5 II's leaked marketing images confirm key features
Sony is all set to launch the Xperia 5 II (pronounced Xperia 5 Mark 2) flagship phone on September 17. In the latest development, tipster Evan Blass has shared some marketing images which reveal the key features of the handset. Separately, the Xperia 5 II has been spotted on Geekbench where it scored 900 points in single-core tests and 3,323 points in multi-core performance.
What is Geekbench and how does it grade CPU performance?
Geekbench is a processor benchmarking platform that grades processors based on single-core or multi-core performances. While evaluating multi-core results, the platform runs multiple streams of instructions simultaneously per core to generate an aggregate result. The process is replicated when it comes to single-core scores. The faster a chipset completes the instructions, the higher is its result on Geekbench.
