MediaTek MT6735T vs MediaTek MT8321

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which processor or chip is better? Full comparison data of benchmarks MediaTek MT6735T vs MediaTek MT8321, speed examination of GPUs Mali-T720 MP2 and Mali-400.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: MT6735T 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 careful analysis of all the specifications of the chipsets, so that it can be easier to understand, is made by the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in special testing software such as WebXPRT 3, PassMark, GeekBench 6, 5, Octane V2, Quadrant, Mozilla Kraken, Vellamo, 3DMark, GFXBench, AnTuTu 8, PCMark, Neocore, and how good the CPUs are in games Call of Duty: Mobile, Fortnite, PUBG, Minecraft Bedrock, Mortal Kombat, Real Racing 3, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Sniper 3D etc.
   After looking at the data of parallel benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which chipset is better to buy MT6735T or MT8321 and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Asphalt 9.
