HiSilicon Kirin 8000 vs Google Tensor

Comparisons   16-01-2024
   Full compare data of HiSilicon Kirin 8000 vs Google Tensor, examination of graphics chips (GPU). A careful analysis of all the specifications of the processors, so that it can be easier to understand, is made by the table. From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel examination in special testing software such as Geekbench, GFXBench, AnTuTu, Quadrant, Neocore, PassMark, 3DMark, Vellamo, PCMark, and how good the SoCs are in games Call of Duty, Minecraft, PUBG, GTA, Fortnite, Madout2, Asphalt 9 etc.
   After looking at the data of parallel tests and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which SoCs is better to buy Kirin 8000 or Tensor.
