MediaTek MT6592 vs MediaTek MT6580

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which chip or processor is better? Full data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek MT6592 vs MediaTek MT6580, comparison of GPUs Mali-400 MP2 and Mali-450 MP4.

This performance comparison involves two processors: MT6592 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A7) and MT6580 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A thorough review of all the specifications of the processors, to make it easier to understand, is summarized in the table.

From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in software tests like Neocore, PassMark, GFXBench, Octane V2, WebXPRT 3, Quadrant, 3DMark, Mozilla Kraken, Vellamo, PCMark, GeekBench 6, 5, AnTuTu 8, even the gaming performance of SoCs in Minecraft Bedrock, Real Racing 3, Call of Duty: Mobile, Fortnite, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, PUBG, Sniper 3D, Mortal Kombat etc.

After looking at the data of parallel benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which chip is better to buy MT6592 or MT6580 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits.
