Intel Atom Z3590 vs MediaTek MT6595M

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   So, which chip or processor is better? Full compare data of benchmarks Intel Atom Z3590 vs MediaTek MT6595M, speed testing of GPUs PowerVR G6430 and PowerVR SGX544.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: Atom Z3590 is quad-core (Moorefield) and MT6595M is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A17). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful analysis of all the specifications of the SoCs, so that it can be easier to understand, is presented in the form of the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in software tests like GFXBench, Mozilla Kraken, PassMark, 3DMark, PCMark, AnTuTu 8, WebXPRT 3, Neocore, Vellamo, Octane V2, Quadrant, GeekBench 6, 5, even the gaming performance of CPUs in Real Racing 3, Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft Bedrock, Fortnite, Sniper 3D, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, PUBG etc.
   After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which processors is better to buy Atom Z3590 or MT6595M and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits.
