MediaTek Dimensity 600 5G vs Samsung Exynos 880

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which chip or processor is better? Comprehensive data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek Dimensity 600 5G vs Samsung Exynos 880, compare of GPUs Mali-G76 MP5 and Mali-G57 MC1.

This performance comparison includes two processors: Dimensity 600 5G is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A76) and Exynos 880 is octa-core (Cortex-A77). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful review of all the specifications of the processors, so that it can be easier to read, is summarized in the table.

From the comparison video, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in special test applications such as PassMark, Mozilla Kraken, GFXBench, WebXPRT 3, Quadrant, Octane V2, AnTuTu 8, PCMark, Geekbench, Vellamo, 3DMark, Neocore, even the gaming performance of SoCs in PUBG, Mortal Kombat, Sniper 3D, Minecraft Bedrock, Fortnite, Real Racing 3, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Call of Duty: Mobile etc.

After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you already be able to know which processors is better to buy Dimensity 600 5G or Exynos 880 and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits, CSR Racing 2, Madout2.
