Intel Atom Z3590 vs HiSilicon Kirin 658

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which chip or processor is better? Detailed comparison data of benchmarks Intel Atom Z3590 vs HiSilicon Kirin 658, speed testing of GPUs PowerVR G6430 and Mali-T830 MP2.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: Atom Z3590 is quad-core (Moorefield) and Kirin 658 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A step-by-step analysis of all the specifications of the CPUs, to make it easier to read, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in software tests like Quadrant, Vellamo, GFXBench, Mozilla Kraken, PCMark, PassMark, Octane V2, Geekbench, WebXPRT 3, 3DMark, AnTuTu, Neocore, and how good the SoCs are in games Call of Duty: Mobile, PUBG, Minecraft Bedrock, Sniper 3D, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Fortnite, Real Racing 3, Mortal Kombat etc.
   After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which processors is better to buy Atom Z3590 or Kirin 658 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2.
