Samsung Exynos 850 vs MediaTek Helio P40 benchmark which processor is better

Exynos 850 vs Helio P40

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   So, which processor or chip is better? Full compare data of benchmarks Samsung Exynos 850 vs MediaTek Helio P40, speed testing of GPUs Mali-G72 MP3 and Mali-G52 MP6.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: Exynos 850 is octa-core (Cortex-A55) and Helio P40 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A73). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful analysis of all the specifications of the SoCs, to make it easier to understand, is summarized in the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in synthetic type tests like Mozilla Kraken, GeekBench 6, 5, Vellamo, 3DMark, PCMark, WebXPRT 3, AnTuTu 8, Neocore, PassMark, Octane V2, GFXBench, Quadrant, and how good the CPUs are in games Real Racing 3, Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft Bedrock, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Mortal Kombat, Fortnite, PUBG, Sniper 3D etc.
   After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which chip is better to buy Exynos 850 or Helio P40 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2.
