MediaTek Helio P22 vs HiSilicon Kirin 710

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which processor or chip is better? Comprehensive compare data of benchmarks MediaTek Helio P22 vs HiSilicon Kirin 710, speed examination of GPUs PowerVR GE8320 and Mali-G71 MP4.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: Helio P22 is octa-core (Cortex-A53) and Kirin 710 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A73). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A careful review of all the technical characteristics, so that it can be easier to read, is summarized in the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in synthetic type tests like AnTuTu 8, Geekbench, Neocore, Mozilla Kraken, Octane V2, 3DMark, Vellamo, GFXBench, PassMark, PCMark, Quadrant, WebXPRT 3, and how good the CPUs are in games Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Real Racing 3, Call of Duty: Mobile, Sniper 3D, PUBG, Mortal Kombat, Minecraft Bedrock, Fortnite etc.
   After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which processors is better to buy Helio P22 or Kirin 710 and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits.
