MediaTek Dimensity 1200 vs Samsung Exynos 1080

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which chip or processor is better? Detailed data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek Dimensity 1200 vs Samsung Exynos 1080, comparison of GPUs Mali-G78 MP24 and Mali-G77 MC9.

This performance comparison includes two processors: Dimensity 1200 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A78) and Exynos 1080 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A78). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful review of all the specifications, 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 special testing software like Geekbench, Neocore, Octane V2, WebXPRT 3, Vellamo, GFXBench, AnTuTu, PassMark, PCMark, 3DMark, Mozilla Kraken, Quadrant, even the gaming performance of SoCs in Real Racing 3, Sniper 3D, Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty: Mobile, Fortnite, PUBG, Minecraft Bedrock, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra etc.

After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which processors is better to buy Dimensity 1200 or Exynos 1080 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9.
