Oculus Go - what is its performance like?

Hadn't seen any clear answers on this yet, though I understand it's slightly early:  Do we know if the Oculus Go's performance is equivalent to some other Galaxy device?   Is targeting a Galaxy S6 still the right thing to do in order to have apps working well on the Oculus Go?

    I'd think it's safe to assume somewhat improved performance over the 2.1ghz Exynos 7420 in the S6.

    John Carmack recently tweeted that targeting S6 isn't required if the dev doesn't want to a.k.a. S7 is the new recommended target. I'm willing to bet Go's perf is at least S7 level.

    I guess that the processor itself is not a total 1 to 1 comparison because the clock rate can be tweaked:

    "The default clock rate for VR applications is 1.8 GHz on two cores, and 389 MHz on the GPU." Extracted from: https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/mobilesdk/latest/concepts/mobile-power-overview/
