MediaTek MT8176 vs MediaTek Helio P35

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which processor or chip is better? Comprehensive data of speed tests and benchmarks MediaTek MT8176 vs MediaTek Helio P35, compare of GPUs PowerVR GX6250 and PowerVR GE8320.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: MT8176 is gexa-core (ARM Cortex-A72) and Helio P35 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A thorough analysis of all the technical characteristics, 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 synthetic type tests like Quadrant, Neocore, Vellamo, PCMark, Octane V2, Mozilla Kraken, WebXPRT 3, AnTuTu, PassMark, GeekBench 6, 5, GFXBench, 3DMark, and how good the processors are in games PUBG, Fortnite, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Mortal Kombat, Sniper 3D, Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft Bedrock, Real Racing 3 etc.
   After looking at the data of parallel benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which processors is better to buy MT8176 or Helio P35 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits.
