Various benchmarks show that the 8 core Mali G71 in the Kirin 960 outperforms the Adreno 530 in the Pixel XL that has Snapdragon 821 in all online screen testing though losing in the offline segment but not by far. It also does lose in overall gaming performance but not by high a margin either. This 20 core G71 in Exynos 9 will most likely wipe the floor with the Adreno 540.

          In s2 and in the Note 2 the following year the exynos was more powerful.
          In the Note 4 the exynos was a little behind but was better by throttling way less.
          Then the next year the S6 had way less throttle so same story as Note 4.
          And with almost every generation there was a much better cpu, battery life, and better audio.

          And this year the 20 core Mali has a great chance of coming out ahead

              As long as it's cheaper than the Rift and the Vive, it's going to be a great milestone in the VR industry.

                Why don't they just built a self sufficient VR headset. That'll be much compact too!

                  But the 8-core Mali G71 in the Kirin 960's GPU can hold it's own against the Adreno 530, so I'm guessing the 20-core G71 in the new Exynos 9 won't be too bad.
