MediaTek MT6595 vs Intel Atom Z3590

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which processor or chip is better? Full compare data of benchmarks MediaTek MT6595 vs Intel Atom Z3590, speed examination of GPUs PowerVR G6200 and PowerVR G6430.

This performance comparison includes two processors: MT6595 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A17) and Atom Z3590 is quad-core (Moorefield). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A thorough analysis of all the technical characteristics of the SoCs, to make it easier to understand, is summarized in the table.

From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in special test applications like PCMark, WebXPRT 3, AnTuTu 8, Octane V2, PassMark, 3DMark, GeekBench 6, 5, GFXBench, Vellamo, Neocore, Mozilla Kraken, Quadrant, and how good the chipsets are in games Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Real Racing 3, Call of Duty: Mobile, PUBG, Fortnite, Sniper 3D, Mortal Kombat, Minecraft Bedrock etc.

After reading the results these benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which processors is better to buy MT6595 or Atom Z3590 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits.
