T610 is a new chipset, but the ARM Cortex A75 and A55 cores are not. It should be possible to determine the expected performance of the CPU even before the benchmarks, to a degree.

Looks like the T610 should be faster than the Snapdragon 439 in the A5C, CPU-wise, at least at its peak.
I mean, the 6 little cores on the T610 should each be faster than one of the 8 cores on the 439.
Not sure how badly either one would be affected by thermal throttling, and not even gonna touch GPU performance with a 10 foot pole here.
But given the limitations of eInk, it's unlikely GPU speed is terribly relevant here. And I'd argue midrange mobile CPUs got more or less good enough speed-wise years ago. Like, my Moto G5+ with a Snapdragon 625 was more than fast enough.
