MediaTek Helio P22 vs Intel Atom x5-Z8350

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   So, which processor or chip is better? Comprehensive data of speed tests and benchmarks MediaTek Helio P22 vs Intel Atom x5-Z8350, comparison of GPUs Intel HD Graphics (Cherry Trail) and PowerVR GE8320.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: Helio P22 is octa-core (Cortex-A53) and Atom x5-Z8350 is quad-core (SoFIA). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A thorough review of all the technical characteristics of the SoCs, 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 such as Quadrant, 3DMark, WebXPRT 3, Neocore, Mozilla Kraken, GeekBench 6, 5, Octane V2, AnTuTu, PassMark, Vellamo, PCMark, GFXBench, and how good the SoCs are in games PUBG, Minecraft Bedrock, Mortal Kombat, Fortnite, Call of Duty: Mobile, Sniper 3D, Real Racing 3, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra etc.
   After reading the results of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which CPU is better to buy Helio P22 or Atom x5-Z8350 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits.
