HiSilicon Kirin 950 vs MediaTek Helio G35 benchmark which processor is better

Kirin 950 vs Helio G35

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which processor or chip is better? Comprehensive data of speed tests and benchmarks HiSilicon Kirin 950 vs MediaTek Helio G35, comparison of GPUs Mali-T880 MP4 and PowerVR GE8320.

This performance comparison involves two processors: Kirin 950 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A72) and Helio G35 is octa-core (Cortex-A53). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful analysis of all the technical characteristics, so that it can be easier to understand, is made by the table.

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

After reading the results these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which chip is better to buy Kirin 950 or Helio G35 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9.
