MediaTek Helio A22 vs Qualcomm 215

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which processor or chip is better? Detailed data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek Helio A22 vs Qualcomm 215, compare of GPUs PowerVR GE8320 and Adreno 308.

This performance comparison involves two processors: Helio A22 is quad-core (Cortex-A53) and Qualcomm 215 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A thorough review of all the specifications, to make it easier to understand, is made by the table.

From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in synthetic type tests like GFXBench, Vellamo, WebXPRT 3, AnTuTu, PCMark, Neocore, GeekBench 6, 5, Mozilla Kraken, PassMark, Quadrant, Octane V2, 3DMark, even the gaming performance of CPUs in PUBG, Mortal Kombat, Fortnite, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Call of Duty: Mobile, Sniper 3D, Real Racing 3, Minecraft Bedrock etc.

After reading the results these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which processors is better to buy Helio A22 or Qualcomm 215 and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2, CSR Racing 2.
