MediaTek MT6595 vs MediaTek Helio A20

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   So, which processor or chip is better? Detailed data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek MT6595 vs MediaTek Helio A20, compare of GPUs PowerVR GE8300 and PowerVR G6200.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: MT6595 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A17) and Helio A20 is quad-core (Cortex-A53). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A careful analysis of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to understand, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in software tests such as GFXBench, AnTuTu, Neocore, Octane V2, 3DMark, Mozilla Kraken, PCMark, WebXPRT 3, Vellamo, GeekBench 6, 5, Quadrant, PassMark, even the gaming performance of SoCs in Mortal Kombat, Minecraft Bedrock, Sniper 3D, PUBG, Call of Duty: Mobile, Fortnite, Real Racing 3, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra etc.
   After looking at the data of all benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which processors is better to buy MT6595 or Helio A20 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits, CSR Racing 2.
