Rumors have been going around that many of Samsung’s upcoming devices will be powered by the company’s own Exynos 7420 chipset, including some of the Galaxy S6 smartphones. A recent benchmark gives us a look at the kind of performance we can expect from the Exynos and how it will compare to this year’s Snapdragon chip.

With some versions of the Samsung Galaxy S6 expected to feature the Exynos 7420 under the hood, the chip was seemingly the subject of a benchmark test at the Geekbench site. The single-core score was 1520 and multi-core tally was 5478. The test scores were most likely the result of a Samsung Galaxy S6 prototype that went through the benchmark test. You might have noticed the 1.5GHz clock speed on the listing. This is probably the result of the slower Cortex A-53 being in use. The big.LITTLE chip uses the latter cores for slower, less intensive tasks while the Cortex A-57 handles the more heavy-duty jobs.
