Multi-core running score directly catches up with Apple's high-frequency octa-core CPU architecture
Before entering the actual testing link, let's briefly introduce the performance parameters of the Tianji 9000: The Tianji 9000 uses TSMC's 4nm advanced process, and the CPU part has a total of eight cores: 1 Arm Cortex-X2 super core with a main frequency of up to 3.05GHz, 3 Arm Cortex-A710 large cores with a main frequency of up to 2.85GHz, and 4 Arm Cortex-A510 energy efficiency cores with a main frequency of 1.8GHz, and a cache of 8MB L3＋6MB SLC。
Tianji 9000 chip specifications
The Tianji 9000 has a built-in Arm Mali-G710 deca-core GPU, and supports LPDDR5X memory, with a transfer rate of up to 7500Mbps. The Tianji 9000 also integrates MediaTek's fifth-generation AI processor APU 590, which is designed with an energy-efficient AI architecture, which is 4 times higher than the performance and energy efficiency of the previous generation.
Tianji 9000 specifications at a glance
The CPU performance of the mobile phone SoC can be said to be the basis of the smartphone experience, so the CPU performance score of the Tianji 9000 is also the most concerned by everyone. After running points tests on the engineering prototype equipped with Tianji 9000, we found that the CPU performance of Tianji 9000 has reached the industry-leading level, and surpassed competitors with the same positioning, and the multi-core running score even reached the level of Apple A14.
Used for this test is an engineering machine equipped with a Tianji 9000 processor, the fuselage memory is 12GB +256GB, and no auxiliary heat dissipation means are used during the test; the model used for comparative testing is the Moto edge X30 equipped with Qualcomm's new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, the fuselage memory is 8GB+128GB, and the auxiliary heat dissipation means are not used during the test. However, due to the problem of the test model version, the two models used for testing failed to unify the memory version and the test software version number, so the following data is for reference only.
In the GeekBench 5.0 test, the GeekBench CPU with a measured running score of 9000 was 1261 points and the CPU multi-core running score was 4302 points. It can be seen that thanks to the high large core main frequency advantage of Tianji 9000, its multi-core running score is currently ranked first in the Android flagship mobile phone SoC ranking, and has caught up with the multi-core score of Apple A14 (about 4300 points).
GeekBench test data
In the Antutu test, which can reflect the comprehensive running score of the whole machine, the engineering machine equipped with Tianji 9000 scored 1.013 million points, becoming the only mobile phone SoC that has exceeded one million points, and the Moto edge X30 for comparison scored 102.8 points. By comparing the scores of the sub-items, it can be found that in the Antutu CPU running score test, Tianji 9000 relies on the advantages of the CPU high-frequency large cache, and the results have a significant leading range compared with the competitors.

Through the test results, it can be seen that the CPU performance of the Tianji 9000 is very powerful, and it has reached the top level in the current Android flagship chip. Especially with the help of higher main frequencies and larger-scale CPU cache, Tianji 9000 can also get a better experience in actual heavy-duty applications, especially in game scenarios.
60% energy efficiency improvement Ten-core GPU architecture
In the GPU part that smartphone users, especially mobile game users are most concerned about, Tianji 9000 also has a good performance level. Especially in terms of energy efficiency, with the help of advanced TSMC 4nm process technology and global energy efficiency optimization technology, the GPU energy efficiency of the Tianji 9000 has achieved a huge improvement of 60% compared with the 2021 Android flagship model.
Tianji 9000 GPU
We used GFXBench to conduct GPU performance tests on the engineering machine equipped with the Tianji 9000, and the test results were quite satisfactory. The specific test results are as follows:
GFX-Manhattan 3.0 1080p off-screen test 238fps
GFX-Manhattan 3.1 1080p off-screen test 162fps
