MediaTek MT6592M vs HiSilicon Kirin 620

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which processor or chip is better? Full comparison data of benchmarks MediaTek MT6592M vs HiSilicon Kirin 620, speed testing of GPUs Mali-450 MP4 and Mali-450 MP4.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: MT6592M is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A7) and Kirin 620 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A thorough analysis of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to read, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in special test applications such as AnTuTu 8, GFXBench, Vellamo, 3DMark, WebXPRT 3, PCMark, Octane V2, GeekBench 6, 5, PassMark, Quadrant, Neocore, Mozilla Kraken, and how good the CPUs are in games Minecraft Bedrock, Mortal Kombat, Fortnite, Sniper 3D, Call of Duty: Mobile, Real Racing 3, PUBG, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra etc.
   After reading the results these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which CPU is better to buy MT6592M or Kirin 620 and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2, CSR Racing 2.
