MediaTek Dimensity 700 vs Apple A14 Bionic

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which processor or chip is better? Comprehensive data of speed tests and benchmarks MediaTek Dimensity 700 vs Apple A14 Bionic, compare of GPUs Apple A14 Bionic and Mali-G57 MC2.

This performance comparison involves two processors: Dimensity 700 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A76) and A14 Bionic is gexa-core (Icestorm). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful analysis of all the specifications, 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 software tests such as Octane V2, 3DMark, Quadrant, PassMark, Geekbench, Neocore, Mozilla Kraken, AnTuTu 8, Vellamo, PCMark, WebXPRT 3, GFXBench, even the gaming performance of SoCs in PUBG, Real Racing 3, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Sniper 3D, Mortal Kombat, Minecraft Bedrock, Fortnite, Call of Duty: Mobile etc.

After reading the results these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which processors is better to buy Dimensity 700 or A14 Bionic and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9.
