MediaTek MT8382 vs Rockchip RK3126C

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   So, which chip or processor is better? Comprehensive data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek MT8382 vs Rockchip RK3126C, compare of GPUs Mali-400 MP2 and Mali-400 MP2.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: MT8382 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7) and Rockchip RK3126C is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A step-by-step analysis of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to understand, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in special test applications such as GeekBench 6, 5, 3DMark, AnTuTu, Quadrant, PassMark, WebXPRT 3, Mozilla Kraken, Neocore, Vellamo, PCMark, Octane V2, GFXBench, and how good the SoCs are in games PUBG, Real Racing 3, Fortnite, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Minecraft Bedrock, Sniper 3D, Call of Duty: Mobile, Mortal Kombat etc.
   After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you already be able to know which CPU is better to buy MT8382 or Rockchip RK3126C and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2.
