MediaTek MT6580P vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 215

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which processor or chip is better? Detailed data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek MT6580P vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 215, comparison of GPUs Mali-400 MP2 and Adreno 308.

This performance comparison involves two processors: MT6580P is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7) and Snapdragon 215 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A thorough analysis of all the technical characteristics, so that it can be easier to read, is summarized in the table.

From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in synthetic type tests such as PCMark, GeekBench 6, 5, GFXBench, Vellamo, PassMark, Octane V2, AnTuTu, Mozilla Kraken, Neocore, 3DMark, Quadrant, WebXPRT 3, and how good the chips are in games Sniper 3D, Call of Duty: Mobile, Fortnite, Mortal Kombat, Minecraft Bedrock, PUBG, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, 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 MT6580P or Snapdragon 215 and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Asphalt 9.
