Early testing by some outlets that got the engineering device show that it's slightly more power efficient than SD8 Gen 3 CPU-wise while being more performant, better multicore, slightly worse single core. GPU-wise it's more or less on par with very similar performance and very similar power draw. Testing with a demanding game, it's able to sustain higher fps for a longer period of time, probably since because they're all big cores, they can clock lower to hit the same level of performance.

On computers as PC or Mac there are several, but what is the use case for a multithread app that pushes the mobile CPU to 100% is there any mobile app that does that?

Emulation. AetherSX2 & Yuzu Android. Certain PS2/Switch games really push the multithreaded load to almost 100%. I was always in the camp of, "any modern budget phone/SoC is good enough for 99% of daily use cases / people" .. that is until I ran these apps. They do genuinely make your phone hotter than even these running synthetic benchmarks because unlike them they require sustained performance and don't run just for a couple of min/loops. Hope this answers your question! :)

(And yes, usually I'd never game on a phone, but full fledged console releases running are a completely different story)

Otherwise benchmarking max CPU multithread performance for a mobile is really not that important. Single thread matters a lot more as it is always used.
