MediaTek Helio A25 vs HiSilicon Kirin 710

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which processor or chip is better? Full compare data of benchmarks MediaTek Helio A25 vs HiSilicon Kirin 710, speed examination of GPUs Mali-G71 MP4 and PowerVR GE8320.

This performance comparison involves two processors: Helio A25 is octa-core (Cortex-A53) and Kirin 710 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A73). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A step-by-step analysis of all the specifications of the CPUs, to make it easier to read, is made by the table.

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

After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which CPU is better to buy Helio A25 or Kirin 710 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9.
