The latest Geekbench results come to contradict Huawei's claims from last week. The Kirin 980 is certainly not faster than the A12 Bionic, but it does perform better than Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845. This might just be an early Mate 20 test sample and performance might be better on the final version, we'll just have to wait two more weeks to find out for sure.

THANK GOD!!!!! My heart dropped to think that Apple isn't the supreme being!
Seems like little by little the others players (Qualcomm,Huawei,Samsung) are caching up on Apple's bionic in single thread perf.
Next generation they are going to be really close.
Nobody should be surprised except the fanboys.
They didn't catch up, but it's good to see exactly how close it is.
