Apple A12 Bionic vs MediaTek Dimensity 820 benchmark which processor is better

Apple A12 Bionic vs MediaTek Dimensity 820

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which chip or processor is better? Comprehensive compare data of benchmarks Apple A12 Bionic vs MediaTek Dimensity 820, speed testing of GPUs Apple A12 Bionic and Mali-G57 MP5.

   This performance comparison involves two processors: A12 Bionic is gexa-core (Vortex) and Dimensity 820 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A76). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A careful analysis of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to read, is presented in the form of the table.

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

   After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which chip is better to buy A12 Bionic or Dimensity 820 and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Asphalt 9.
