Well, which processor or chip is better? Detailed comparison data of benchmarks MediaTek Dimensity 1200 vs Apple A13 Bionic, speed testing of GPUs Mali-G77 MC9 and Apple A13 Bionic.
This performance comparison includes two processors: Dimensity 1200 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A78) and A13 Bionic is gexa-core (Icestorm). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A step-by-step analysis of all the technical characteristics of the CPUs, to make it easier to read, is presented in the form of the table.
From the comparison video, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in synthetic type tests like Neocore, 3DMark, Quadrant, Vellamo, PassMark, Geekbench 5, AnTuTu 8, Octane V2, GFXBench, PCMark, Mozilla Kraken, WebXPRT 3, and how good the SoCs are in games Mortal Kombat, Minecraft Bedrock, Real Racing 3, PUBG, Fortnite, Call of Duty: Mobile, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Sniper 3D etc.
After looking at the data of parallel benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which chipset is better to buy Dimensity 1200 or A13 Bionic and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, Madout2.

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Dimensity 1200 is 11% better than A13 Bionic in terms of CPU frequency. Another difference is that Dimensity 1200 has -2 more core than A13 Bionic. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption.
GPU and Media| GPU | Mali-G77 MC9 | Apple A13 Bionic | | GPU Frequency | 800 MHz | 2600 MHz | | GFloPS | 504 | 786 | | # of Cores | 9 | 4 | | # of Shader Units | | | | Display | 2520 x 1080 pixels | 2688 x 1242 pixels |
The frequency of the GPU does not always directly indicate its performance. To fully evaluate all the capabilities of a graphics chip, you should take into account the number of Shader Units and Cores, as well as how many GFlops it has.
Gaming benchmark| Fortnite Mobile | 28.8 | 62.6 | | PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG Mobile) | 71.4 | 56.5 | | Garena Free Fire - The Cobra | 98.5 | 62.9 | | Call of Duty: Mobile | 55.5 | 62.1 | | Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5 Mobile) | 61.6 | 50.7 | | Minecraft: Pocket Edition | 89.5 | 76.4 | | Real Racing 3 | 197 | 125.8 | | Sniper 3D | 216.7 | 138.4 | | Need for Speed No Limits | 157.6 | 88.1 | | Mortal Kombat X | 157.6 | 100.6 | | CSR Racing 2 | 137.9 | 81.8 |
The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the gadget and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Antutu 8 and GeekBench 5.2 becnmarks.
