Intel Atom Z3560 vs MediaTek Helio A22

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which chip or processor is better? Detailed data of speed tests and benchmarks Intel Atom Z3560 vs MediaTek Helio A22, compare of GPUs PowerVR G6430 and PowerVR GE8320.

This performance comparison involves two processors: Atom Z3560 is quad-core (Moorefield) and Helio A22 is quad-core (Cortex-A53). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A thorough review of all the specifications of the CPUs, to make it easier to read, is summarized in the table.

From the comparison video, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in synthetic type tests like PassMark, Vellamo, WebXPRT 3, Mozilla Kraken, 3DMark, PCMark, GFXBench, AnTuTu, Octane V2, GeekBench 6, 5, Quadrant, Neocore, even the gaming performance of chipsets in Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Sniper 3D, Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft Bedrock, Real Racing 3, Mortal Kombat, PUBG, Fortnite etc.

After reading the results of all benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which SoCs is better to buy Atom Z3560 or Helio A22 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2.
