MediaTek Helio A25 vs HiSilicon Kirin 710A

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which chip or processor is better? Detailed compare data of benchmarks MediaTek Helio A25 vs HiSilicon Kirin 710A, 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 710A is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A73). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A careful analysis 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 parallel benchmarking in special testing software like Quadrant, PCMark, 3DMark, Octane V2, GeekBench 6, 5, Vellamo, Mozilla Kraken, GFXBench, AnTuTu 8, Neocore, PassMark, WebXPRT 3, even the gaming performance of CPUs in Sniper 3D, Real Racing 3, Fortnite, Minecraft Bedrock, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Mortal Kombat, PUBG, Call of Duty: Mobile etc.
   After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which chip is better to buy Helio A25 or Kirin 710A and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2, Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2.
