MediaTek MT6592 vs Intel Atom Z3590

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   So, which chip or processor is better? Detailed compare data of benchmarks MediaTek MT6592 vs Intel Atom Z3590, speed testing of GPUs PowerVR G6430 and Mali-450 MP4.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: MT6592 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A7) and Atom Z3590 is quad-core (Moorefield). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A thorough review of all the technical characteristics, so that it can be easier to read, is presented in the form of the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in special testing software like 3DMark, Octane V2, Mozilla Kraken, Neocore, Geekbench, Vellamo, AnTuTu, PCMark, PassMark, GFXBench, Quadrant, WebXPRT 3, even the gaming performance of chipsets in Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Call of Duty: Mobile, Fortnite, Minecraft Bedrock, PUBG, Real Racing 3, Mortal Kombat, Sniper 3D etc.
   After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which CPU is better to buy MT6592 or Atom Z3590 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2.
