MediaTek MT8312CW vs MediaTek MT8735M

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   So, which processor or chip is better? Comprehensive data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek MT8312CW vs MediaTek MT8735M, comparison of GPUs Mali-T720 MP2 and Mali-400.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: MT8312CW 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 thorough analysis of all the technical characteristics, so that it can be easier to read, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in special testing software such as WebXPRT 3, Octane V2, PassMark, Vellamo, PCMark, AnTuTu, GFXBench, Neocore, Mozilla Kraken, Geekbench, 3DMark, Quadrant, and how good the processors are in games Sniper 3D, Mortal Kombat, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Fortnite, Call of Duty: Mobile, PUBG, Real Racing 3, Minecraft Bedrock etc.
   After looking at the data of all benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which CPU is better to buy MT8312CW or MT8735M and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2, Madout2.
