We received somehow credible benchmark results of the Snapdragon 820, and now the Mediatek's high-end SoC Helio X20 (MT797) has just received a place in the spotlight.
The multi-core score result is 7037 and it is the highest score we have ever seen on the benchmark's website (GeekBench).
The 10-core CPU architecture of the SoC is responsible for that (of which 2 cores are Cortex-A72).
However, a single Cortex-A72 couldn't beat the newest A9 chip.
