I'm failing to understand why the Adreno 810 is so much better than 710 in benchmarks when on paper they're very close (specs and GFLOPs). Something doesn't add up.

LOL, I don't know how they got such results in the AnTuTu test for the 7s Gen 3, 'cause none of the presented phones with this processor score so many points. They scored almost as many points as the 7s Gen 2. It looks like some kind of deception or confusion, 'cause the regular 7 Gen 3 scores 800k points. Maybe they mixed up the results of these processors; 7s Gen 3 cannot score as many points as 7 Gen 3.

I expected a bigger CPU difference.. but the CPU seems very close with only 10% CPU gab The main difference is being GPU, which has like 70% difference somehow? I guess Snapdragon will never give U a good 7 series CPU, they want U to pay 3x for 8 Gen or Elite versions
