MediaTek Dimensity 800U vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 662

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which processor or chip is better? Comprehensive data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek Dimensity 800U vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 662, compare of GPUs Adreno 610 and Mali-G57 MC3.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: Dimensity 800U is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A76) and Snapdragon 662 is octa-core (Kryo 260). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful review of all the technical characteristics of the SoCs, so that it can be easier to understand, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in software tests like Neocore, WebXPRT 3, PassMark, Octane V2, Vellamo, GFXBench, PCMark, AnTuTu, 3DMark, Mozilla Kraken, Quadrant, GeekBench 6, 5, and how good the chips are in games Mortal Kombat, PUBG, Minecraft Bedrock, Real Racing 3, Fortnite, Sniper 3D, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Call of Duty: Mobile etc.
   After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which SoCs is better to buy Dimensity 800U or Snapdragon 662 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9.
