MediaTek MT6735P vs MediaTek MT8321

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which chip or processor is better? Detailed data of speed tests and benchmarks MediaTek MT6735P vs MediaTek MT8321, compare of GPUs Mali-T720 MP2 and Mali-400.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: MT6735P is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and MT8321 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A thorough analysis of all the technical characteristics, so that it can be easier to understand, is presented in the form of the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in software tests like Quadrant, Vellamo, WebXPRT 3, PassMark, 3DMark, Neocore, GeekBench 6, 5, GFXBench, PCMark, AnTuTu 8, Octane V2, Mozilla Kraken, even the gaming performance of chips in Minecraft Bedrock, Fortnite, Mortal Kombat, Sniper 3D, PUBG, Call of Duty: Mobile, Real Racing 3, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra etc.
   After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which processors is better to buy MT6735P or MT8321 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9.
