MediaTek Dimensity 800U vs MediaTek Dimensity 720 5G

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which chip or processor is better? Detailed data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek Dimensity 800U vs MediaTek Dimensity 720 5G, comparison of GPUs Mali-G57 MC3 and Mali-G57 MC3.

This performance comparison includes two processors: Dimensity 800U is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A76) and Dimensity 720 5G is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A76). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful analysis of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to understand, is presented in the form of the table.

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

After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which CPU is better to buy Dimensity 800U or Dimensity 720 5G and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2, Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2.
