MediaTek MT6738 vs MediaTek MT6595

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which processor or chip is better? Full data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek MT6738 vs MediaTek MT6595, compare of GPUs PowerVR G6200 and Mali-T860 MP2.

This performance comparison includes two processors: MT6738 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and MT6595 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A17). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A step-by-step analysis of all the technical characteristics of the processors, so that it can be easier to read, is made by the table.

From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in software tests like GeekBench 6, 5, GFXBench, PCMark, Mozilla Kraken, Quadrant, 3DMark, PassMark, Vellamo, WebXPRT 3, Octane V2, Neocore, AnTuTu 8, and how good the SoCs are in games PUBG, Sniper 3D, Minecraft Bedrock, Mortal Kombat, Fortnite, Real Racing 3, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Call of Duty: Mobile etc.

After looking at the data of parallel benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which processors is better to buy MT6738 or MT6595 and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits.
