HiSilicon Kirin 710A vs MediaTek Helio P95

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which processor or chip is better? Detailed compare data of benchmarks HiSilicon Kirin 710A vs MediaTek Helio P95, speed examination of GPUs PowerVR GM 9446 and Mali-G71 MP4.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: Kirin 710A is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A73) and Helio P95 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A75). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A step-by-step analysis of all the specifications of the SoCs, to make it easier to read, is summarized in the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in software tests like 3DMark, WebXPRT 3, GFXBench, PassMark, Quadrant, Vellamo, PCMark, Mozilla Kraken, Octane V2, GeekBench 6, 5, Neocore, AnTuTu 8, even the gaming performance of CPUs in Sniper 3D, Minecraft Bedrock, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, PUBG, Fortnite, Mortal Kombat, Real Racing 3, Call of Duty: Mobile etc.
   After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you already be able to understand which chip is better to buy Kirin 710A or Helio P95 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits.
