HiSilicon Kirin 935 vs MediaTek MT6595M

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which processor or chip is better? Detailed data of benchmarks and speed tests HiSilicon Kirin 935 vs MediaTek MT6595M, comparison of GPUs Mali-T628 MP6 and PowerVR SGX544.

This performance comparison involves two processors: Kirin 935 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and MT6595M is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A17). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A step-by-step analysis of all the technical characteristics, so that it can be easier to read, is summarized in the table.

From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in special test applications such as Neocore, AnTuTu, 3DMark, Mozilla Kraken, Octane V2, PassMark, WebXPRT 3, PCMark, Vellamo, Quadrant, GFXBench, GeekBench 6, 5, and how good the SoCs are in games Fortnite, Call of Duty: Mobile, Real Racing 3, Mortal Kombat, Sniper 3D, Minecraft Bedrock, PUBG, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra etc.

After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which chip is better to buy Kirin 935 or MT6595M and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits.
