Apple A13 Bionic vs HiSilicon Kirin 810 benchmark which processor is better

A13 Bionic vs Kirin 810

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which processor or chip is better? Comprehensive compare data of benchmarks Apple A13 Bionic vs HiSilicon Kirin 810, speed examination of GPUs Mali-G52 MP6 and Apple A13 Bionic.

This performance comparison involves two processors: A13 Bionic is gexa-core (Icestorm) and Kirin 810 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A76). 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 read, is made by the table.

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

After reading the results of all benchmarks and videos, you already be able to know which processors is better to buy A13 Bionic or Kirin 810 and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits.
