MediaTek Dimensity 700 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 730

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which chip or processor is better? Comprehensive comparison data of benchmarks MediaTek Dimensity 700 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 730, speed examination of GPUs Adreno 618 and Mali-G57 MC2.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: Dimensity 700 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A76) and Snapdragon 730 is octa-core (Kryo 470). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful review of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to read, is summarized in the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in software tests like Neocore, WebXPRT 3, GFXBench, PCMark, AnTuTu 8, GeekBench 6, 5, PassMark, 3DMark, Quadrant, Octane V2, Mozilla Kraken, Vellamo, and how good the SoCs are in games Sniper 3D, Fortnite, Minecraft Bedrock, Real Racing 3, PUBG, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Call of Duty: Mobile, Mortal Kombat etc.
   After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you already be able to know which chipset is better to buy Dimensity 700 or Snapdragon 730 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits.
