MediaTek MT6737V vs HiSilicon Kirin 620

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which processor or chip is better? Detailed comparison data of benchmarks MediaTek MT6737V vs HiSilicon Kirin 620, speed testing of GPUs Mali-450 MP4 and Mali-T720 MP2.

This performance comparison involves two processors: MT6737V 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 thorough review of all the specifications of the SoCs, to make it easier to read, is summarized in the table.

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

After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which chip is better to buy MT6737V or Kirin 620 and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, Madout2, CSR Racing 2.
