MediaTek MT8312 vs MediaTek MT8735M

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which chip or processor is better? Detailed comparison data of benchmarks MediaTek MT8312 vs MediaTek MT8735M, speed testing of GPUs Mali-T720 MP2 and Mali-400.

This performance comparison includes two processors: MT8312 is dual-core (ARM Cortex-A7) and MT8735M is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A step-by-step analysis of all the specifications, to make it easier to understand, is made by the table.

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

After looking at the data of parallel benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which chipset is better to buy MT8312 or MT8735M and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9.
