MediaTek Helio P40 vs MediaTek Helio P70 benchmark which processor is better

Helio P40 vs Helio P70

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which chip or processor is better? Comprehensive compare data of benchmarks MediaTek Helio P40 vs MediaTek Helio P70, speed testing of GPUs Mali-G71 MP2 and Mali-G72 MP3.

This performance comparison includes two processors: Helio P40 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A73) and Helio P70 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A73). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A thorough review of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to understand, is made by the table.

From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in software tests like GeekBench 6, 5, WebXPRT 3, AnTuTu 8, Neocore, Quadrant, Octane V2, Mozilla Kraken, 3DMark, GFXBench, PassMark, PCMark, Vellamo, and how good the chipsets are in games Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Mortal Kombat, Fortnite, Sniper 3D, PUBG, Minecraft Bedrock, Real Racing 3, Call of Duty: Mobile etc.

After looking at the data of all benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which SoCs is better to buy Helio P40 or Helio P70 and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits.
