MediaTek Helio P35 vs Samsung Exynos 850

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which chip or processor is better? Detailed compare data of benchmarks MediaTek Helio P35 vs Samsung Exynos 850, speed examination of GPUs Mali-G52 MP6 and PowerVR GE8320.

This performance comparison includes two processors: Helio P35 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and Exynos 850 is octa-core (Cortex-A55). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A careful review of all the technical characteristics of the SoCs, so that it can be easier to understand, is made by the table.

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

After looking at the data of all benchmarks and videos, you already be able to understand which chip is better to buy Helio P35 or Exynos 850 and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2, Madout2.
