CPU performance is sufficient for daily use and business use. However, in a benchmark test using an actual device, performance was slightly below the average value for the same CPU in a heavily loaded multi-threaded (multi-core) test. The single-thread (single-core) test gave above average results, so this may be due to heat effects during high loads.
