Well, which chip or processor is better? Comprehensive data of speed tests and benchmarks Apple A12Z Bionic vs MediaTek Dimensity 820, comparison of GPUs Apple A12Z Bionic and Mali-G57 MP5.
This performance comparison includes two processors: A12Z Bionic is octa-core (Vortex) and Dimensity 820 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A76). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful review of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to understand, is presented in the form of the table.
From the comparison video, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in synthetic type tests like Quadrant, Neocore, WebXPRT 3, Geekbench, PCMark, Mozilla Kraken, AnTuTu 8, 3DMark, GFXBench, PassMark, Octane V2, Vellamo, and how good the processors are in games Sniper 3D, Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty: Mobile, Fortnite, PUBG, Real Racing 3, Minecraft Bedrock, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra etc.
After reading the results these benchmarks and videos, you already be able to know which processors is better to buy A12Z Bionic or Dimensity 820 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9.
