Bro how the F is this even making any sense 7s gen 4 supposed to beat 888 in everything newer GPU agriculture 800 which is form the family of 8 ELITE gen 4 , I know cortex x1 is power ful but it only one and the rest is A78 + A55 which are very old for performance so tell me brother how can 888 beat 7s gen 4 all this sh*t marketing doesn't make any sense πŸ˜’
