Besides Geekbench, a reliable Weibo tipster suggests that the biggest possible change from the Snapdragon 888 seems to be the maximum performance of the chipset’s core, which runs at 3GHz on a maximum single-core frequency.
Moreover, the SD888 Pro received scores of 1171 for single-core performance and 3704 for multiple-core performance. Compared to the Snapdragon 888, the test scores are about 3 to 6% higher, which isn’t huge.
