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-G52 MP6	Mali-G78 MP22
GPU Frequency	850 MHz	650 MHz
GFloPS	426	986
# of Cores	6	22
# of Shader Units
Display	2560 x 1440 pixels	4096 x 2160 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.
