MediaTek Dimensity 1000C vs Samsung Exynos 1080

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   So, which chip or processor is better? Comprehensive data of speed tests and benchmarks MediaTek Dimensity 1000C vs Samsung Exynos 1080, compare of GPUs Mali-G78 MP24 and Mali-G57 MP5.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: Dimensity 1000C is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A77) and Exynos 1080 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A78). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful analysis of all the technical characteristics, so that it can be easier to understand, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in software tests such as WebXPRT 3, Geekbench, AnTuTu 8, Quadrant, 3DMark, Vellamo, PassMark, GFXBench, PCMark, Mozilla Kraken, Octane V2, Neocore, even the gaming performance of SoCs in Mortal Kombat, Fortnite, Sniper 3D, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Call of Duty: Mobile, PUBG, Minecraft Bedrock, Real Racing 3 etc.
   After looking at the data of parallel benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which SoCs is better to buy Dimensity 1000C or Exynos 1080 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2.
