Intel Atom Z3735F vs MediaTek MT6735

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which processor or chip is better? Detailed data of speed tests and benchmarks Intel Atom Z3735F vs MediaTek MT6735, compare of GPUs Mali-T720 MP2 and Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail).

This performance comparison involves two processors: Atom Z3735F is quad-core (Bay Trail) and MT6735 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A thorough analysis of all the specifications of the CPUs, to make it easier to understand, is made by the table.

From the comparison video, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in special test applications such as Geekbench, Octane V2, AnTuTu 8, Quadrant, GFXBench, Neocore, Vellamo, WebXPRT 3, PassMark, 3DMark, Mozilla Kraken, PCMark, even the gaming performance of CPUs in Minecraft Bedrock, PUBG, Real Racing 3, Call of Duty: Mobile, Mortal Kombat, Sniper 3D, Fortnite, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra etc.

After reading the results these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which SoCs is better to buy Atom Z3735F or MT6735 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9.
