Helio P40 vs Snapdragon 670

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which processor or chip is better? Full compare data of benchmarks MediaTek Helio P40 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 670, speed testing of GPUs Mali-G72 MP3 and Adreno 615.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: Helio P40 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A73) and Snapdragon 670 is octa-core (Kryo 360). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A step-by-step analysis of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to read, is presented in the form of the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in software tests like GeekBench 6, 5, AnTuTu 8, Neocore, GFXBench, Octane V2, Quadrant, PCMark, WebXPRT 3, PassMark, 3DMark, Vellamo, Mozilla Kraken, even the gaming performance of chipsets in Sniper 3D, Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft Bedrock, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Fortnite, PUBG, Real Racing 3 etc.
   After reading the results of all benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which SoCs is better to buy Helio P40 or Snapdragon 670 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, Madout2.
