MediaTek MT6595M vs Intel Atom x7-Z8700

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which processor or chip is better? Full comparison data of benchmarks MediaTek MT6595M vs Intel Atom x7-Z8700, speed examination of GPUs PowerVR SGX544 and Intel HD Graphics (Cherry Trail).

This performance comparison involves two processors: MT6595M is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A17) and Atom x7-Z8700 is quad-core (SoFIA). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A careful review of all the specifications, to make it easier to read, is summarized in the table.

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

After looking at the data of parallel benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which CPU is better to buy MT6595M or Atom x7-Z8700 and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9.
