MediaTek MT6737H vs HiSilicon Kirin 620

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   So, which processor or chip is better? Full compare data of benchmarks MediaTek MT6737H vs HiSilicon Kirin 620, speed testing of GPUs Mali-T720 and Mali-450 MP4.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: MT6737H is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and Kirin 620 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A thorough review of all the specifications of the SoCs, so that it can be easier to understand, is made by the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in synthetic type tests such as PassMark, PCMark, Quadrant, Mozilla Kraken, Vellamo, AnTuTu, WebXPRT 3, GeekBench 6, 5, Neocore, GFXBench, Octane V2, 3DMark, even the gaming performance of chips in Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Call of Duty: Mobile, Real Racing 3, Mortal Kombat, Minecraft Bedrock, Sniper 3D, PUBG, Fortnite etc.
   After looking at the data of all benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which SoCs is better to buy MT6737H or Kirin 620 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits.
