MediaTek Helio P18 vs MediaTek MT6595M

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which chip or processor is better? Comprehensive data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek Helio P18 vs MediaTek MT6595M, comparison of GPUs Mali-T860 MP2 and PowerVR SGX544.

This performance comparison involves two processors: Helio P18 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and MT6595M is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A17). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A step-by-step analysis of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to understand, is summarized in the table.

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

After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which SoCs is better to buy Helio P18 or MT6595M and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2.
