HiSilicon Kirin 930 vs Intel Atom Z3590

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   So, which chip or processor is better? Comprehensive compare data of benchmarks HiSilicon Kirin 930 vs Intel Atom Z3590, speed examination of GPUs PowerVR G6430 and Mali-T628 MP6.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: Kirin 930 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and Atom Z3590 is quad-core (Moorefield). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A thorough analysis of all the specifications of the CPUs, to make it easier to understand, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in special test applications such as PCMark, AnTuTu, WebXPRT 3, Vellamo, Mozilla Kraken, Geekbench, PassMark, Quadrant, Octane V2, Neocore, 3DMark, GFXBench, even the gaming performance of CPUs in Real Racing 3, Sniper 3D, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, PUBG, Fortnite, Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft Bedrock etc.
   After looking at the data of parallel benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which SoCs is better to buy Kirin 930 or Atom Z3590 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9.
