MediaTek Helio P22 vs Qualcomm 215

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which chip or processor is better? Detailed data of speed tests and benchmarks MediaTek Helio P22 vs Qualcomm 215, comparison of GPUs PowerVR GE8320 and Adreno 308.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: Helio P22 is octa-core (Cortex-A53) and Qualcomm 215 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A thorough analysis of all the specifications of the chips, to make it easier to read, is summarized in the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in special test applications such as GeekBench 6, 5, WebXPRT 3, Octane V2, Vellamo, GFXBench, 3DMark, AnTuTu, Neocore, Mozilla Kraken, PCMark, PassMark, Quadrant, and how good the SoCs are in games Minecraft Bedrock, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, PUBG, Call of Duty: Mobile, Fortnite, Mortal Kombat, Sniper 3D, Real Racing 3 etc.
   After reading the results of parallel benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which chip is better to buy Helio P22 or Qualcomm 215 and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2.
