Can anyone please give a specific explanation of why the phones with an Adreno GPU runs dolphin better than a phone with a Mali GPU? From what i've seen the Galaxy S8 should be good enough for easy-to-emulate games, but it runs NSMBWii at 60fps on the snapdragon version and around 40fps on the exynos version

You need to understand that you should not sightlessly trust the automatic comparison on the table. You can watch full video of parallel testing and hear what people say who really appreciated the capabilities of both GPUs, as well as read the test results at the links below.

Comparison of the technical characteristics between the graphics cards, with Qualcomm Adreno 540 on one side and ARM Mali-G71 MP2 on the other side, also their respective performances with the benchmarks. The first is dedicated to the smartphone sector, with 2 execution units, it has 256 shading units, a maximum frequency of 0.7 GHz, its lithography is 10 nm. The second is used on the smartphone segment, with 2 execution units, it includes 32 shading units, a maximum frequency of 1.3 GHz, its lithography is 16 nm. The following table also compares the boost clock, the number of shading units [if indicated], of execution units, the amount of cache memory, the maximum memory capacity, the memory bus width, the release date, the number of PCIe lanes, the values ​​obtained in various benchmarks.

Single-precision floating-point format, also called FP32, is a computer number format that typically occupies 32 bits in PC memory. This represents a wide dynamic range of numeric values that employs a floating point. FP32 power helps assess the video card's capabilities for generating rendering workloads. Video games use INT32 and FP32 cores to manage calculations with integers and numbers with decimals in order to produce maps, bone matrices on which the vertex shaders will calculate the vertices. Values in single precision format are mainly used in video games and 3D software.
