MediaTek Helio P22 vs MediaTek MT8176

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which processor or chip is better? Full data of speed tests and benchmarks MediaTek Helio P22 vs MediaTek MT8176, compare of GPUs PowerVR GE8320 and PowerVR GX6250.

This performance comparison includes two processors: Helio P22 is octa-core (Cortex-A53) and MT8176 is gexa-core (ARM Cortex-A72). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful analysis of all the technical characteristics of the processors, to make it easier to read, is made by the table.

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

After reading the results these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which processors is better to buy Helio P22 or MT8176 and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2.
