HiSilicon Kirin 930 vs MediaTek MT6739

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which chip or processor is better? Comprehensive comparison data of benchmarks HiSilicon Kirin 930 vs MediaTek MT6739, speed examination of GPUs Mali-T628 MP6 and PowerVR GE8100.

This performance comparison includes two processors: Kirin 930 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and MT6739 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A careful review 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 joint benchmarking in synthetic type tests like WebXPRT 3, Vellamo, AnTuTu 8, GFXBench, Mozilla Kraken, Neocore, PCMark, Quadrant, GeekBench 6, 5, PassMark, 3DMark, Octane V2, and how good the SoCs are in games Call of Duty: Mobile, PUBG, Minecraft Bedrock, Fortnite, Sniper 3D, Real Racing 3, Mortal Kombat, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra etc.

After reading the results of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which CPU is better to buy Kirin 930 or MT6739 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits.
