MediaTek MT8735P vs Qualcomm Snapdragon S1

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which chip or processor is better? Detailed compare data of benchmarks MediaTek MT8735P vs Qualcomm Snapdragon S1, speed testing of GPUs Mali-T720 MP2 and Adreno 200.

This performance comparison includes two processors: MT8735P is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and Snapdragon S1 is single-core (ARM Cortex-A9). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A step-by-step analysis of all the specifications of the SoCs, so that it can be easier to understand, is summarized in the table.

From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in special test applications such as Neocore, WebXPRT 3, Quadrant, Mozilla Kraken, Vellamo, Octane V2, PassMark, GFXBench, PCMark, AnTuTu, GeekBench 6, 5, 3DMark, and how good the chipsets are in games Minecraft Bedrock, PUBG, Call of Duty: Mobile, Fortnite, Mortal Kombat, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Sniper 3D, Real Racing 3 etc.

After reading the results of parallel benchmarks and videos, you already be able to know which CPU is better to buy MT8735P or Snapdragon S1 and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2.
