But it's not just Samsung, you get same effect from minimizing on other SD820 devices, I personally noticed this on HTC10 and G5

I did have root time ago on my S7 but it was using the eng boot to gain root and the performance was afull, maybe now is more stable and I can use Kernel Audiutor or SetCPU to obtain this and manage the dvfs files.

Check this http://ow.ly/OTV7305WSfW same process for S7 (resets on reboot though)

Please be careful with disabling power management. It is both to improve the battery lifetime and to keep the device within its thermal limits. While the former may be fine to overwrite, the latter may destroy your device.

I haved checked this but I dont find the specified file. Even if I type it in the search bar.

Yes, I have read the effwcts on this, only want to test the gaming performance of dolphin without it. 

But Im having a hard time searching for the requiered file.

Ah, just realised you have SD820, while instruction is for Mali, I have to look at it.
@Degasus, SoCs seems doing fine even when hitting 90c barrier, as found on Wind Waker SD808 video

Are you kidding me! My O'ced One Plus 3 never goes past 55°C during wind waker. And WW is running at 27-30 fps on outer islands and fullspeed during intro, close spaces etc. 90°C sounds really dangerous to me. Maybe i need to try a more gfx intensive game like Paper mario with all those fancy framebuffer effects... But after reading that comment I'm not sure if i wanna torture my phone like that

That was sarcasm though in all the seriousness that's how thermals works on SD808 which can be seen on the video, it disables A57s when reaching 90c: https://youtu.be/40oOcimTys4. On Kryo thermals works differently, there's a theory that SD820 thermal management won't allow to utilize full CPU performance as it's capped by dvfs or a similar type of thermal control, limiting initial SoC thermals at around 55-60c, by always reducing core frequency (see minimize trick comment). If you have OP3 overclocked see CPU frequencies by using system monitor app, I'm pretty sure that bigger cores are never reaching 2Ghz value

Looks like this device is indeed 20% faster than the nvidia shield android TV. Not that much

20% speedup is likely still possible for the ARM jit. But I need help here ...
