HiSilicon Kirin 710A vs HiSilicon Kirin 710

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which processor or chip is better? Detailed compare data of benchmarks HiSilicon Kirin 710A vs HiSilicon Kirin 710, speed testing of GPUs Mali-G71 MP4 and Mali-G71 MP4.

This performance comparison includes two processors: Kirin 710A is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A73) and Kirin 710 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A73). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful review of all the technical characteristics of the CPUs, so that it can be easier to read, is presented in the form of the table.

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

After reading the results of parallel benchmarks and videos, you already be able to understand which CPU is better to buy Kirin 710A or Kirin 710 and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2, Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2.
