MediaTek Dimensity 1100 vs Samsung Exynos 990

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which chip or processor is better? Detailed comparison data of benchmarks MediaTek Dimensity 1100 vs Samsung Exynos 990, speed examination of GPUs Mali-G77 MP11 and Mali-G77 MC9.

This performance comparison involves two processors: Dimensity 1100 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A78) and Exynos 990 is octa-core (Exynos M5 Mongoose). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A thorough analysis of all the specifications of the processors, so that it can be easier to read, is summarized in the table.

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

After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which chipset is better to buy Dimensity 1100 or Exynos 990 and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9.
