In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here MediaTek Dimensity 9000 is 8% better than Tensor in terms of CPU frequency. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption.

GPU and Media

GPU	Mali-G710 MC10	Mali-G78 MP22
GPU Frequency	850 MHz	650 MHz
GFloPS	1648	986
# of Cores	10	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.
