Helio P40 vs Exynos 9610

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which processor or chip is better? Comprehensive comparison data of benchmarks MediaTek Helio P40 vs Samsung Exynos 9610, speed examination of GPUs Mali-G72 MP3 and Mali-G72 MP3.

This performance comparison involves two processors: Helio P40 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A73) and Exynos 9610 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A73). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful review 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 parallel benchmarking in special test applications such as GFXBench, Quadrant, 3DMark, Vellamo, PCMark, AnTuTu 8, Mozilla Kraken, Octane V2, Neocore, PassMark, GeekBench 6, 5, WebXPRT 3, even the gaming performance of CPUs in Real Racing 3, PUBG, Sniper 3D, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Fortnite, Minecraft Bedrock, Call of Duty: Mobile, Mortal Kombat etc.

After looking at the data of parallel benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which chip is better to buy Helio P40 or Exynos 9610 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, Madout2.
