MediaTek Dimensity 700 vs Samsung Exynos 990

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which chip or processor is better? Detailed data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek Dimensity 700 vs Samsung Exynos 990, compare of GPUs Mali-G57 MC2 and Mali-G77 MP11.

This performance comparison involves two processors: Dimensity 700 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A76) and Exynos 990 is octa-core (Exynos M5 Mongoose). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A thorough analysis of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to read, is presented in the form of the table.

From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in special testing software like Vellamo, Quadrant, PCMark, GeekBench 6, 5, Neocore, PassMark, Octane V2, GFXBench, WebXPRT 3, Mozilla Kraken, 3DMark, AnTuTu 8, and how good the SoCs are in games Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Minecraft Bedrock, PUBG, Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty: Mobile, Sniper 3D, Real Racing 3, Fortnite etc.

After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you already be able to know which processors is better to buy Dimensity 700 or Exynos 990 and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2, CSR Racing 2.
