In terms of running points, it scored 1020 points for single-core and 3710 points for multi-core tests, respectively.
According to the smartphone SoCs ranking list, the single-core performance of the Kirin 9000 is up to 30% higher than that of the Kirin 990 5G (single-core score is 783). This is basically in line with the Apple A12 bionic chip, and slightly ahead of the Snapdragon 865 Plus.
