MediaTek MT6735M vs MediaTek MT6580

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which processor or chip is better? Comprehensive comparison data of benchmarks MediaTek MT6735M vs MediaTek MT6580, speed examination of GPUs Mali-T720 and Mali-400 MP2.

This performance comparison includes two processors: MT6735M is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and MT6580 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A careful analysis of all the technical characteristics of the CPUs, so that it can be easier to understand, is summarized in the table.

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

After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which chip is better to buy MT6735M or MT6580 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits.
