HiSilicon Kirin 650 vs MediaTek MT6739

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which chip or processor is better? Detailed comparison data of benchmarks HiSilicon Kirin 650 vs MediaTek MT6739, speed testing of GPUs PowerVR GE8100 and Mali-T830 MP2.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: Kirin 650 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and MT6739 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A step-by-step analysis of all the specifications, to make it easier to understand, is presented in the form of the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in software tests like GeekBench 6, 5, Quadrant, Neocore, WebXPRT 3, AnTuTu, 3DMark, Vellamo, PassMark, GFXBench, PCMark, Mozilla Kraken, Octane V2, even the gaming performance of chipsets in Mortal Kombat, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Sniper 3D, Fortnite, Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft Bedrock, PUBG, Real Racing 3 etc.
   After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you already be able to understand which chip is better to buy Kirin 650 or MT6739 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2.
