Intel Atom Z3580 vs HiSilicon Kirin 650

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   So, which chip or processor is better? Comprehensive data of benchmarks and speed tests Intel Atom Z3580 vs HiSilicon Kirin 650, comparison of GPUs Mali-T830 MP2 and PowerVR G6430.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: Atom Z3580 is quad-core (Moorefield) and Kirin 650 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 specifications, to make it easier to understand, is summarized in the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in special testing software such as Geekbench, Mozilla Kraken, AnTuTu 8, Vellamo, 3DMark, Neocore, GFXBench, PassMark, Quadrant, PCMark, WebXPRT 3, Octane V2, and how good the processors are in games Call of Duty: Mobile, PUBG, Real Racing 3, Minecraft Bedrock, Mortal Kombat, Fortnite, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Sniper 3D etc.
   After reading the results of all benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which SoCs is better to buy Atom Z3580 or Kirin 650 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits.
