MediaTek Dimensity 1200 vs Apple A14 Bionic

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which chip or processor is better? Full data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek Dimensity 1200 vs Apple A14 Bionic, comparison of GPUs Apple A14 Bionic and Mali-G77 MC9.

This performance comparison includes two processors: Dimensity 1200 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A78) and A14 Bionic is gexa-core (Icestorm). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A step-by-step analysis of all the specifications of the CPUs, so that it can be easier to understand, is summarized in the table.

From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in software tests like PassMark, WebXPRT 3, GFXBench, Mozilla Kraken, Vellamo, 3DMark, PCMark, Neocore, Quadrant, AnTuTu, Octane V2, Geekbench 5, and how good the chipsets are in games Sniper 3D, Fortnite, Real Racing 3, Minecraft Bedrock, Mortal Kombat, PUBG, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Call of Duty: Mobile etc.

After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which SoCs is better to buy Dimensity 1200 or A14 Bionic and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2, Madout2.
