The SD801 is only bettered by SD805, 820, 652 and Exonys chips. Even the SD810 loses out due to its poor thermal efficiency. It's one of the reasons why 2014 Android devices still last and people were not too bothered to upgrade to 2015 devices.
Complete hogwash. The A53s are MUCH faster and more power efficient than the Krait 400 cores. Even in single core tasks they're not significantly slower. It's not even close, the SD801 is horribly inefficent compared to modern cores.
