Intel Atom Z3735F vs MediaTek MT6580

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which processor or chip is better? Detailed compare data of benchmarks Intel Atom Z3735F vs MediaTek MT6580, speed testing of GPUs Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail) and Mali-400 MP2.

This performance comparison involves two processors: Atom Z3735F is quad-core (Bay Trail) and MT6580 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A careful analysis of all the technical characteristics of the CPUs, to make it easier to understand, is summarized in the table.

From the comparison video, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in special testing software like WebXPRT 3, Mozilla Kraken, Geekbench, Quadrant, Neocore, 3DMark, PCMark, GFXBench, PassMark, Octane V2, Vellamo, AnTuTu 8, and how good the processors are in games Sniper 3D, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Mortal Kombat, Minecraft Bedrock, PUBG, Fortnite, Call of Duty: Mobile, Real Racing 3 etc.

After reading the results of all benchmarks and videos, you already be able to know which SoCs is better to buy Atom Z3735F or MT6580 and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Madout2.
