HiSilicon Kirin 620 vs MediaTek MT6737

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   So, which chip or processor is better? Comprehensive compare data of benchmarks HiSilicon Kirin 620 vs MediaTek MT6737, speed testing of GPUs Mali-T720 MP2 and Mali-450 MP4.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: Kirin 620 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and MT6737 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A thorough review of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to understand, is made by the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in special test applications such as AnTuTu 8, Geekbench, 3DMark, Quadrant, Neocore, PassMark, Mozilla Kraken, WebXPRT 3, Octane V2, PCMark, Vellamo, GFXBench, and how good the SoCs are in games Real Racing 3, Sniper 3D, Call of Duty: Mobile, Mortal Kombat, PUBG, Minecraft Bedrock, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Fortnite etc.
   After looking at the data of parallel benchmarks and videos, you already be able to understand which chipset is better to buy Kirin 620 or MT6737 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2.
