MediaTek MT6735M vs HiSilicon Kirin 620

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which chip or processor is better? Full data of speed tests and benchmarks MediaTek MT6735M vs HiSilicon Kirin 620, comparison of GPUs Mali-450 MP4 and Mali-T720.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: MT6735M is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and Kirin 620 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A careful analysis of all the specifications of the chipsets, to make it easier to read, is summarized in the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in software tests such as AnTuTu, PCMark, Quadrant, Vellamo, Octane V2, GeekBench 6, 5, GFXBench, Mozilla Kraken, 3DMark, Neocore, PassMark, WebXPRT 3, even the gaming performance of processors in Fortnite, Mortal Kombat, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Call of Duty: Mobile, Sniper 3D, PUBG, Real Racing 3, Minecraft Bedrock etc.
   After reading the results of parallel benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which processors is better to buy MT6735M or Kirin 620 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9.
