Apologies if this has already been answered - but how is it possible that the Honor 6, with 8 core processors and a high clock speed, gets a lower score than the iPhone 6?
I can only assume that the chess program is using such a large addressable memory space that the 64 bits become an advantage?
The Honor gets a MUCH higher GeekBench 3 score than the iPhone 6 does.
Btw - in the UK, the Honor costs £170, whereas the iPhone 6 costs over £600.
Writing is the antidote to confusion.
It's not "how smart you are", it's "how are you smart".

Huawei Kirin 920 = ARM big.LITTLE: 4 cores Cortex-A15 + 4 cores Cortex-A7
It depends if big + LITTLE cores can be run simultaneously.
Exynos 5410 can run either 4-A7 either 4-A15 cores
Exynos 5420 can run both 4-A7 and 4-A15 cores simultaneously
Do not know about Kirin 920. If you have access - try 8 vs 4 threads and check gain.
Regretfully, I don't have one to test - though if I was buying a phone right now, I'd give the Honor serious consideration - even though it's a misspelling in British English ("honour").
Thanks to you and Thorsten for suggestions as to why it might be worse in chess.
It is still mysterious that the iPhone 6S gets a geekbench 3 score of 1605, whereas the Honor gets a geekbench 3 score of 2990. This implies that the chess test didn't use all the available threads? Or maybe that the chess program uses enough memory to give 64 bit addressing an advantage?

How come Samsung decide to make a model of phone with different CPU. Some versions have the Snapdragon and others the Exynos. Is there any way of knowing what version you get before buying. I live in New Zealand and would hate to buy the S7 only to find out later that it is the Snapdragon version. The Samsung NZ site does not state what specs are for the CPU but list all other specs.

Can't you ask seller before purchase?
US and China based customers will be getting the Snapdragon 820 version of the Galaxy S7 while Samsung’s Korean, Japanese and European markets will be getting the Exynos 8890 based variant of the Galaxy S7. As far as the Exynos 7422 goes, that device will be limited for customers in India only
I suspect that there's a strong correlation between these numbers and the GeekBench 3 results. It would be easy to take a sample and check: in a spreadsheet, the correlation function is CORREL. If the outcome is close to 1, then we can say that the chess performance of a device will be close to its GeekBench 3 performance.
Given that people publish GeekBench 3 results as soon as a phone is launched, this information is always going to be available.
Again, this is a very long thread, so apologies if it has already been discussed.
Also, may I ask what the numbers below are, please? Reported number of positions generated per second?

The Galaxy S7 Edge is the European version, with the new Exynos. I set Stockfish to 8 threads, gave it 2GB of hash and let it run for one minute.
I'd be curious to know the bench results of the American version, with the Snapdragon. It should be faster than the Exynos, I believe.
