Not sure if I did the benchmark right, but here it goes. I guess you just load the bunny mp4 video to handbrake, put the log tick to options and change the encoding preset to android and that's it... right?

Clocked at 2.5 GHz or overclocked? If it's at 2.5 GHz, that's an impressive FPS/GHz/Core score (20.0). My i7-4770K only gets 17.4 FPS/GHz/Core.

Everything was at stock, but it can turbo pretty well, as you can see from the below screen.

Took longer, but my CPU stayed idle the entire time. GPU was running at base frequency (650MHz) and didn't scale/turbo up. (According to Ark, it can boost up to 1.15GHz.)

I get better FPS yet on the nightlies too. But these results obviously aren't as comparable.
