Sources are reporting a new image that surfaced on Weibo appears to show benchmark testing results for the Samsung Exynos 8890. The processor is based on a new CPU architecture that Samsung has been working on codenamed Mongoose that not only improves performance, but efficiency as well. The Exynos 8890 is supposedly going to be one of three chips available in the Galaxy S7 when released next year.
According to the image, the Exynos 8890 posted a score of 2,294 points on a single-core test and 6,908 points on a multi-core test using the Geekbench tools. These scores were generated when running at 2.3GHz and on the multi-core test, are close to earlier scores generated in some preliminary testing. The chip was also tested in Power Saving mode with scores of 1,710 points and 4,896 points and in Ultra Power Saving mode with scores of 1,100 points and 3,209 points in the single-core and multi-core tests respectively.
Fore comparison, the Exynos 7420 has generated scores of 1,486 on a single-core and 4,970 on multi-core while the Apple A9 processor posted scores of 2,487 and 4,330 respectively.
If Samsung is able to produce the Galaxy S7 with this chip and meet other demands for long-life and reasonable temperature control, they should have a smartphone that ranks as one of the best performing on the market.

I lost faith on these scores and specs leaks and what not !
You see a phone, a supposedly flag-ship, you get excited, you buy it, and it is almost like your previous ones.
My next phone will be a mid-range beautiful one, no matter what’s inside :-/
