Correct Antutu score for A55 is 778k+, not 703k. Use Samsung game launcher for better gaming performance.

A55 scores over 778k on Antutu and better with Samsung game launcher, possibly reaching 800k.

Hello, I checked Xclipse 530 GPU in A55. It has 998 GFLOPS. Unlike Adreno 640, which has many shaders at low freq, Xclipse raises GPU frequency to get power but heats phone more, reducing hardware life.

More on A55 GPU: It has 128 shaders per exec unit. Likely 3 exec units, so Xclipse 530 has 384 shaders at 1.3 GHz.

Is 91dB loud enough? Does it sound stereo from top and bottom speakers?

Yes, 91dB volume is enough. The best minimum sound is 85dB or maybe 83dB, so 91dB is even better.

It has Unified Shaders with Texture Mapping Units, Render Output Units, Ray Accelerators, and Workgroup Processor in ratio 128:8:8:2. Total 146 units. Shader count is 128 based on new RDNA tech. Check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exynos.

At first I thought it was just a copy of A54, but the Antutu score surprised me. It's better than iPhone XS Max and S10 Plus combined. Almost as good as iPhone 11.

The new A5X phones keep matching 4-year-old Samsung flagships. This happened with A52, A53, and A54, and probably will with A56. It uses an SD 888-like CPU but better tech. The chip will be Exynos instead of TSMC, so we'll see if Samsung’s 4 years of development helped.
