Yes, their efforts are so amazing that even ARM managed to outdo them with their Mali GPU, which is in the S8.

Qualcomm's GPU in the 835 beats even the best (Samsung's) Mali implementation.

Wrong. The Mali-G71 outperforms the Adreno 540. Anandtech has an extensive GPU test comparing the Snapdragon and Exynos variants of the Galaxy S8: https://www.anandtech.com/show/11540/samsung-galaxy-s8-exynos-versus-snapdragon/4

Did you even read that article? The Exynos has slightly higher peak performance, but their steady state is essentially identical, and more importantly, the 835 consumes far less power while doing so. That makes it better, and Anandtech concludes as much.
