MediaTek MT8167D vs MediaTek MT8321

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   So, which chip or processor is better? Full compare data of benchmarks MediaTek MT8167D vs MediaTek MT8321, speed testing of GPUs Mali-400 and PowerVR GE8300.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: MT8167D is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A35) and MT8321 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful review of all the technical characteristics of the chipsets, to make it easier to understand, is presented in the form of the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in special test applications like GFXBench, PCMark, PassMark, Octane V2, Mozilla Kraken, Quadrant, Geekbench, 3DMark, AnTuTu, Vellamo, WebXPRT 3, Neocore, and how good the chips are in games Real Racing 3, PUBG, Sniper 3D, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Fortnite, Mortal Kombat, Minecraft Bedrock, Call of Duty: Mobile etc.
   After reading the results these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which CPU is better to buy MT8167D or MT8321 and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Madout2.
