The Kirin 960 also has eight GPU cores, up from four in the 950 family. Those things add up to 180% better graphics performance..." Lines 11-14

                For sure the Chinese phones will be the next hits - not Apple, not Samsung. So sell shares if you have of the last two and buy Huawei.....

                    and that's a summery Wise.
                    GPU wise... an Adreno 530 is 20% stronger than a Mali-T880MP12. So if the increase is a whopping 180%. then it will face the iPhone 7's GPU. which is currently the top king.
