HiSilicon Kirin 710A vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 662

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which chip or processor is better? Comprehensive data of speed tests and benchmarks HiSilicon Kirin 710A vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 662, comparison of GPUs Adreno 610 and Mali-G71 MP4.

This performance comparison includes two processors: Kirin 710A is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A73) and Snapdragon 662 is octa-core (Kryo 260). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A careful review of all the technical characteristics of the CPUs, so that it can be easier to understand, is presented in the form of the table.

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

After reading the results of joint benchmarks and videos, you already be able to understand which chipset is better to buy Kirin 710A or Snapdragon 662 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2.
