MediaTek MT6738 vs MediaTek MT6753

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which processor or chip is better? Detailed data of speed tests and benchmarks MediaTek MT6738 vs MediaTek MT6753, compare of GPUs Mali-T720 MP3 and Mali-T860 MP2.

This performance comparison includes two processors: MT6738 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and MT6753 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 CPUs, to make it easier to read, is presented in the form of the table.

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

After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which CPU is better to buy MT6738 or MT6753 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits.
