MediaTek MT8732 vs Rockchip RK3126C

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which processor or chip is better? Full compare data of benchmarks MediaTek MT8732 vs Rockchip RK3126C, speed examination of GPUs Mali-400 MP2 and Mali-T760 MP2.

This performance comparison involves two processors: MT8732 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and Rockchip RK3126C is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A thorough analysis of all the technical characteristics of the CPUs, to make it easier to read, is presented in the form of the table.

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

After reading the results of joint benchmarks and videos, you already be able to know which processors is better to buy MT8732 or Rockchip RK3126C and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2, Madout2.
