MediaTek MT8312CW vs Intel Atom Z3735F

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   So, which chip or processor is better? Detailed data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek MT8312CW vs Intel Atom Z3735F, compare of GPUs Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail) and Mali-400.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: MT8312CW is dual-core (ARM Cortex-A7) and Atom Z3735F is quad-core (Bay Trail). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful analysis of all the specifications of the CPUs, 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 such as GFXBench, GeekBench 6, 5, 3DMark, PCMark, Vellamo, Octane V2, PassMark, Mozilla Kraken, AnTuTu 8, Quadrant, Neocore, WebXPRT 3, and how good the SoCs are in games Sniper 3D, Real Racing 3, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Call of Duty: Mobile, Fortnite, Mortal Kombat, Minecraft Bedrock, PUBG etc.
   After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which processors is better to buy MT8312CW or Atom Z3735F and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2.
