How to read the CPU performance index
The CPU index weights single-core 30% and multi-core 70%, with Snapdragon 865 fixed at 100. It measures compute performance only — no GPU, no power draw.
A 20-point gap is invisible when scrolling feeds or messaging; multi-core work is where it shows. Exporting the same 4K timeline takes about ten minutes on a 260-point chip and fifteen-plus on a 200-point one, which is exactly why multi-core carries 70% of the weight.

Phone CPU benchmark FAQ
Why does multi-core carry 70% of the weight?
+
Most sustained work — video export, gaming with apps in the background, on-device AI — runs in parallel. Single-core still decides how snappy the interface feels day to day.
Which chip tops the Phone CPU ranking right now?
+
Apple M4 (4+6) at 348 pts; runner-up is Apple M4 (3+6) at 325 pts. Scoring details are in "How to read the CPU performance index" above.
How many chips does the Phone CPU ranking cover?
+
158 chips, across 11 brands (Apple, Qualcomm, MediaTek, Xiaomi and more). Data updated 2026-11-09.
What does it take to reach the top 10?
+
Tenth place is Xiaomi XRing O1 at 237 pts; the median is Huawei Kirin 8000 at 80 pts, roughly mainstream level.
