Intel Atom x7-Z8700 vs MediaTek Helio P35

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which processor or chip is better? Detailed data of speed tests and benchmarks Intel Atom x7-Z8700 vs MediaTek Helio P35, comparison of GPUs PowerVR GE8320 and Intel HD Graphics (Cherry Trail).
   This performance comparison includes two processors: Atom x7-Z8700 is quad-core (SoFIA) and Helio P35 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A step-by-step analysis of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to read, is presented in the form of the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in software tests like Vellamo, AnTuTu 8, PCMark, Quadrant, Neocore, Geekbench, PassMark, GFXBench, WebXPRT 3, Mozilla Kraken, Octane V2, 3DMark, and how good the processors are in games Minecraft Bedrock, PUBG, Call of Duty: Mobile, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Sniper 3D, Real Racing 3, Fortnite, Mortal Kombat etc.
   After reading the results of parallel benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which processors is better to buy Atom x7-Z8700 or Helio P35 and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2.
