MediaTek MT6575 vs MediaTek MT6589

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which processor or chip is better? Detailed data of speed tests and benchmarks MediaTek MT6575 vs MediaTek MT6589, compare of GPUs PowerVR SGX531 and PowerVR SGX544.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: MT6575 is single-core (ARM Cortex-A9) and MT6589 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful analysis of all the specifications, to make it easier to understand, is summarized in the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in software tests like Geekbench, PassMark, Quadrant, GFXBench, PCMark, Mozilla Kraken, Octane V2, WebXPRT 3, Neocore, AnTuTu, Vellamo, 3DMark, and how good the SoCs are in games Mortal Kombat, PUBG, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Real Racing 3, Fortnite, Call of Duty: Mobile, Sniper 3D, Minecraft Bedrock etc.
   After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which processors is better to buy MT6575 or MT6589 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2.
