              Atleast on Exynos devices, some guys managed to change cpu tuning Algorithms, changing governors via Root, thereby reducing the throttling and improving battery life.
              With Huawei, you have to wait for the company to fix the issue (if at all they fix it). No way to take matters in your own hands.

                  I'll wait for AnTuTu and see how much the GPU scores.

                    Now. This post has already proven wrong and I was right to doubt on this.
                    kirin 820 is just better than SD765.

                                So....finally Huawei has started a new trend of giving 4 big cores to midrange SoC's ....just wait for others to release their midrange SoC's with 4 big cores too and then compare

                                  sd855 and kirin990 are almost the same in benchmarks..... so this means that kirin820 is also outperforming kirin990?!

                                      Damn a mid range faster than last years flagship, if priced $400-500 its a killer

                                        From my experience, i know that kirin processors are very very power efficient. Kirin 980 & 990 make your phone fly (even another than oneplus devices).
                                        I hope other Chinese OEMs start using Kirin processors coz I find them better than Snapdragon / exynos counterpart in terms of performance, speed, thermal, & battery life
