MediaTek Dimensity 1000C vs HiSilicon Kirin 9000

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   So, which processor or chip is better? Detailed compare data of benchmarks MediaTek Dimensity 1000C vs HiSilicon Kirin 9000, speed examination of GPUs Mali-G78 MP24 and Mali-G57 MP5.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: Dimensity 1000C is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A77) and Kirin 9000 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A77). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A careful analysis of all the specifications of the chips, to make it easier to read, is made by the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in synthetic type tests like WebXPRT 3, GFXBench, 3DMark, PassMark, Vellamo, AnTuTu 8, Quadrant, Neocore, PCMark, Mozilla Kraken, GeekBench 6, 5, Octane V2, even the gaming performance of CPUs in Sniper 3D, Fortnite, Mortal Kombat, PUBG, Real Racing 3, Minecraft Bedrock, Call of Duty: Mobile, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra etc.
   After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which CPU is better to buy Dimensity 1000C or Kirin 9000 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2.
