HiSilicon Kirin 710A vs MediaTek Helio G35

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which chip or processor is better? Full compare data of benchmarks HiSilicon Kirin 710A vs MediaTek Helio G35, speed examination of GPUs PowerVR GE8320 and Mali-G71 MP4.

This performance comparison involves two processors: Kirin 710A is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A73) and Helio G35 is octa-core (Cortex-A53). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A careful analysis of all the technical characteristics, so that it can be easier to read, is summarized in the table.

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

After reading the results these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which processors is better to buy Kirin 710A or Helio G35 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, Madout2.
