MediaTek MT6595 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 630

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which chip or processor is better? Detailed data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek MT6595 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 630, comparison of GPUs Adreno 508 and PowerVR G6200.

This performance comparison includes two processors: MT6595 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A17) and Snapdragon 630 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A72). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A step-by-step analysis of all the technical characteristics of the CPUs, to make it easier to understand, is made by the table.

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

After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which chip is better to buy MT6595 or Snapdragon 630 and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2, Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2.
