In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption.

GPU and Media

GPU	Mali-G78 MP14	Mali-G76 MP12
GPU Frequency	700 MHz	800 MHz
GFloPS	976	489.38
# of Cores	24	12
# of Shader Units
Display	2560 x 1600 pixels	2560 x 1600 pixels

The frequency of the GPU does not always directly indicate its performance. To fully evaluate all the capabilities of a graphics chip, you should take into account the number of Shader Units and Cores, as well as how many GFlops it has.
