MediaTek MT6570 vs Spreadtrum SC8830

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which processor or chip is better? Comprehensive comparison data of benchmarks MediaTek MT6570 vs Spreadtrum SC8830, speed testing of GPUs Mali-400 MP2 and Mali-400 MP2.

This performance comparison includes two processors: MT6570 is dual-core (ARM Cortex-A7) and Spreadtrum SC8830 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A step-by-step analysis of all the technical characteristics of the SoCs, to make it easier to understand, is presented in the form of the table.

From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in special testing software such as GFXBench, Geekbench, Neocore, Quadrant, Vellamo, PassMark, Mozilla Kraken, PCMark, 3DMark, Octane V2, AnTuTu 8, WebXPRT 3, even the gaming performance of CPUs in Real Racing 3, Call of Duty: Mobile, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Minecraft Bedrock, Fortnite, Sniper 3D, PUBG, Mortal Kombat etc.

After reading the results these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which chip is better to buy MT6570 or Spreadtrum SC8830 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9.
