HiSilicon Kirin 930 vs MediaTek MT6595

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which chip or processor is better? Full compare data of benchmarks HiSilicon Kirin 930 vs MediaTek MT6595, speed examination of GPUs PowerVR G6200 and Mali-T628 MP6.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: Kirin 930 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and MT6595 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A17). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful review of all the specifications, to make it easier to understand, is presented in the form of the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in software tests like WebXPRT 3, Octane V2, Quadrant, 3DMark, GeekBench 6, 5, Vellamo, GFXBench, Mozilla Kraken, PassMark, AnTuTu 8, Neocore, PCMark, and how good the CPUs are in games Fortnite, Real Racing 3, Call of Duty: Mobile, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, PUBG, Mortal Kombat, Minecraft Bedrock, Sniper 3D etc.
   After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which chip is better to buy Kirin 930 or MT6595 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits.
