Where did you get a GPU score of 250K for the 8100? I've never seen that before. My phone consistently scores 199K every time I test it.

So, in short, 8100 is just a slight improvement of 1200. In cpu it is around 5-10% improvement and in gpu, around 20-30% improvement. If the provided stability % is correct, then both are safe for casual gamers.
