Why exactly is the OPO so fast? (A discussion)

So... as the title says I wanted to talk to you all about something really simple...yet powerful. For anyone who has tried jgcaap's CM13 rom you'll know that the OPO is capable of extreme performance, easily beating my friends Nexus 6p in both benchmarks and real world usage... But the question is why? (And in case you are curious, the antutu test my friend and I did came out to: OPO - 75,000 ish, vs N6P 68,000 ish.) Once I flashed this rom, I was blown away, while before I felt the urge to upgrade to something newer... after flashing I've been prevented from buying anything new 2015+ because nothing has performed better than my OPO now. It's like a Super OPO now!

I've used the Moto X Pure, the Nexus 6p, the HTC m8/M9, and NONE of them felt anywhere near as instant fast as my OPO running jgcaap's rom. Why is this? Especially compared to the SD808 and SD810. Did OnePlus just choose some magical super variant of the SD801? I've done various testing and some of the results were interesting, I noticed that the ram's r/w speeds on the OPO were are average twice as fast as the other phones I had tested. Interesting! I did not get a chance to test the internal r/w speeds but I presume that must also be a factor. The biggest difference is that everything on my OPO just "goes". It never hangs, everything opens instantly, and apps that require a longer loading time always finish faster on the OPO. I've even underclocked the OPO to a mere 1200mhz, and it still flies past the others. What is this magic?

What are your thoughts guys? Why does the OPO's SD801 perform much better than an SD808 or SD810? Do you all think it's just the processor? Or something else?

Discuss!
